I am not really too fond of cars since there is no way I can afford them, but if you are talking about cars stamps now that is something I find really interesting!
I got these cars stamps from a previous direct swap. I did a bit of research and found out that these were called the Muscle Cars (Forever) stamps, a third issuance in the America on the Move series by the USPS. The series include 5 iconic automobiles that represents the adventurous spirit of the muscle-car era of the ’60s:
- Pontiac GTO {1966}
- Shelby GT-500 {1967}
- Dodge Charger Daytona {1969}
- Plymouth Hemi ‘Cuda {1970}, and
- Chevelle SS {1970}
These muscle cars artwork is created by artist Tom Fritz, who based them on photographs of the cars. He used bright-colored oil paints on hardboard.
So far I already have 4 in these series and I do hope I get to receive a card soon with the Plymouth Hemi ‘Cuda stamps so that I can complete this series.
This is my share for this week’s:
Ah I remember these cars. They were still around in the 70’s too. Thanks for joining us this week!
I hadn’t seen any of these before.
I like the coloring on the first stamp.
