USPS provides 'sneak peek' at Classic Car Stamps

Ever wanted to own a classic car but couldn't afford one? Later this fall, 50 million Detroit classics will roll out of the nation's 37,000 Post Office show rooms as the second issuance in the America on the Move commemorative stamps series.

The 50s Fins and Chrome 42-cent First-Class stamps go on sale Oct. 3, and feature paintings by renowned automobile illustrator Art. M. Fitzpatrick—a '57 Chrysler 300C, '57 Lincoln Premiere, '57 Pontiac Safari, '57 Studebaker Golden Hawk and a '59 Cadillac Eldorado. The stamps were modeled after cars still on the road today.

The U.S. Postal Service inaugurated the America on the Move stamp series in 2005 with the Sporty Cars of the 50s stamps that depicted a '52 Nash Healey, '53 Chevrolet Corvette, '53 Studebaker Starliner, '54 Kaiser Darrin and a '55 Ford Thunderbird.
