Tram, Bus and Rail postcards

One of my preferred themes. I think public transport postcards offer a window into daily life and urban development. Let's swap.

Postcards with exquisite matching stamps get a gold medal! Thanks Sabine

Vintage Transicards - UK Vehicles

Picked up these old UK transport cards from a second hand shop somewhere. Classics. Does anyone know the history behind the Transicard series? Printed mainly in the 1970s from what can gather.

Berta Benz in Pforzheim

A beautiful re-creation of the historic moment when Berta Benz (wife of Karl Benz) telegraphed home to Mannheim of her safe arrival in Pforzheim, thereby completing the first long-distance automobile journey (194km) and a public relations triumph for Benz automobiles. Thank you Sabine for this thoughtful card which enlightened and delighted me.

FJ Holden

The successor to the original 48-215 (FX) the FJ was the iconic Australian car of the 1950s, manufactured from 1953-56 with 169,969 produced. Very few remain and are highly prized.

Der neue Audi: Audi 920 Cabriolet

Audi 920 (1938-1940) 6 Cylinder, 3.2 litre, 75PS, cabriolet.

Thanks again Sabine

Daf Variomatic

Another champion card from Mike

Triumph TR6 PI (1969)

Henry Ford Museum: Mustang #1

Mustang #1 from the Henry Ford Museum. How much must this be worth? $millions

Apparently it was sold by accident to a customer and then Ford went back and got it. Gee, I bet they had to stump up for it too!
