Saving for a Custom Van is a 2020 tribute album to Adam Schlesinger, who died earlier that year to COVID-19. Schlesinger wrote or co-wrote all of the songs. The title is a lyric from the first track, "Utopia Parkway." ^[3] It was released on June 16, 2020 on Bandcamp ^[1] and as a colored vinyl LP in 2022. ^[2]

Similar to the songwriting agreement of Lennon-McCartney (wherein both authors often wrote songs individually but were credited collectively no matter who actually wrote the track) songs credited to the team of Chris Collingwood and Adam Schlesinger are usually written by only one of the two. ^[4] Several of the Collingwood/Schlesinger songs on this compilation (including "A Fine Day For A Parade" and "Valley Winter Song") were actually wholly written by Collingwood.
