1957 Pontiac Safari Stamp

Well, this could get me back to using snail-mail! The U.S. Postal Service is issuing a second set of automobile stamps as part of its "America on the Move" series. The first set included cars up to 1950; the new set showcases "50s Fins and Chrome." Five 42-cent first-class stamps will be issued, featuring a '57 Chrysler 300C, '57 Lincoln Premiere, '57 Pontiac Safari, '57 Studebaker Golden Hawk, and a '59 Cadillac Eldorado.

A gorgeous collection, for sure, all created by the wonderful Art M. Fitzpatrick, whose paintings were often used as advertising illustrations during the heyday of Detroit Iron. Fitz is now in his 80's, helping prove my personal adage that "you can't help getting older, but you don't have to get old." The collection will be on sale from October 3, 2008.
