If you're wondering as to why the image is so tiny, well, it's a postage stamp; and they are tiny, right? I don't think I've done a blog on automotive stamps, so this is likely a first folks (if that means anything).
The state of Idaho is being honored by the US Postal Service by creating a stamp of a 300C owned by Twin Falls, Idaho resident George McKovich. The stamp is part of the Fifties Fins and Chrome stamp series, and will go on sale October 3rd. More than 50 million of the stamps featuring McKovich's car will be up for sale.
"This is your chance to own a rare vehicle," states Twin Falls Postmaster Bill Reese. "It's a great tribute to our community. We are honored that a local car will soon adorn millions of letters nationwide."
Other cars in the series include a 1957 Pontiac Safari, 1957 Lincoln Premiere, 1957 Studebaker Golden Hawk and 1959 Cadillac Eldorado.
