Default Chevrolet Dealer Promo 8 Track Tapes

I picked these two dealer promo tapes up not too long ago. I know the one on the right is 1970 vintage and I think the the one on the left is 1969, but I am not certain...

I thought they were kind of cool to collect. These are the only two I have. I know you see the earlier and later 70s tapes on e-bay often and they are relatively cheap. You do not see the the 70 or late 60s tapes too often..

Does anyone collect or have some of these?? I am curious as to what some of the other year tapes look like..

Rich

I have all the years of these Chevrolet demo tapes from when they started in 67,to when they stopped.
The one on the left was issued for 71 production,the right for 70.
Some vehicles received the overlap too.
Neat stuff!

Those are cool! Chevrolet would send these to the dealers for use on test drives with customers. Get them in the "MOOD" I suppose!

Hmmmm - Henry Mancini Salute to The Beatles - I don't recall it hitting the Pop Charts in 1971

Those things are very cool

I have a NOS 1978 one. It says General Motors Parts Division on the case.

Nice! I am working on restoring some non-chevy 8-tracks for that day-2 look. If the rollers and spring pads are in good shape, they should be playable!
