These are Sohio/Boron radio spots for Ex-tane gas, apparently the ideal winter car fuel. No idea on the year, but I'm guessing 1962/63.
The ads run the gamut from funny to weird (or both), and there's some unintentional humor in cut 5, a rhythmic narration in which the announcer can't quite find the proper meter--this is followed by a far more successful effort. The henpecked husband in tracks 3 and 4 sounds familiar--and it turns out to be voice actor Bill Thompson, as identified by Josh. (Thanks, Josh!)
Help stop hubcap theft, and don't forget to buy Atlas Cushionaire Tires!
