I picked up this 3-CD collection last month at Disc JJ, a great record shop in Osaka, Japan. According to the liner notes it was:

Conceived as music for listening behind the wheel or at home, this triple album echoes the “American Way of Life” back in the days when the automobile was a striking symbol. This anthology featuring rock, jazz, western swing, blues and country music is a landmark audio-collection illustrating the car-myth in American popular music.

It includes a 28-page booklet with detailed notes in both English and French about the artists and songs. You can find it here on Amazon.
