Here’s what I’m looking for.
My friend has a 68 Mustang and I always thought it would be cool to have a recording of maybe an hour’s worth of radio air play from 1968.
I’m looking for more than just the music. I want the commercials and the news too. Are recording of this stuff for sale on the net?

[This is as close as I could find on the net](http://www.keener13.com/wknrfm1970.htm). On the upside, it is a station from Detroit. Click the 5th link on the green banner or check the 7 links on the bottom of that page.
If it’s essential it be '68 (which technically would mean Autumn 1967 when the cars come out…look into trading for / buying [airchecks](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=254516&highlight=aircheck).

I have a great Allison Steele show from 1967 WNEW-FM as a last resort

[Here are some Jean Shepherd shows](http://shep-archives.com/Listings/Show.php?aonly=1&date=1968&category=show&source=FHC&search=Search) from 1968.
Jean Shepherd is probably best known as the author of _A Christmas Story_, but his long-running radio show is some of the best rambling, stream-of-consciousness stuff going.
I have some episodes of _Suspense_ from the 60s, if that holds any appeal for you.
Oh, and lots of AFRTS stuff from the Vietnam era. Just day-to-day stuff with news, music, call-ins, etc. Let me know if you want me to mail any of that stuff. (E-mail or snail-mail.)

If you don’t mind using Real Player, [this web site](http://www.reelradio.com/) might be what you’re looking for.

Back in the 70s, there was a series of albums called "Cruisin’ " – each album being a single radio show each year from the 50s and 60s, complete with commercials, and maybe even news headlines.
I haven’t seen the series in years, but I’ll bet you can find it on Ebay.
