Vintage Airline Issue

One of my pet subjects for postcards is vintage and contemporary airline issue postcards. Increasingly rare these days as airlines cut back on everything not core to flying planes and maximising revenue. Enjoy these anachronistic artforms. I will add to this post occasionally, so call back to see what else I've found.

Milwaukee: The Harley-Davidson Museum

In June 2018, I took myself to Milwaukee and spent some time visiting the Harley-Davidson Museum and factory. Bought a stack of cards too. Did you get one?

Portland Light Rail and Trams

Blackpool Car 48 in Portland OR

These Type 1 cars were manufactured by Bombardier and began
operating on the Portland MAX system in 1986

Thanks to Francis in Portland for these cards

I visited Portland myself a few years back and recall travelling on the MAX from the airport on the last flight in and the last tram out. It was like a ghost train ride - Portland goes to bed early!

US vintage aviation

Fabulous selection of vintage military aviation postcards from Jeannette. Thrilled.

New Disneyland postcards

Wow! Disneyland are opening some new attractions in June and have launched a series of promotional postcards to coincide. Not sure if they are 'limited edition' or will become common souvenir stall items. See the rest of the set here.

Vintage DC-8 - United Airlines

United Airlines was one of the first airlines to use the new Douglas DC-8 jet airliner in 1959. Thank you Jeannette

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!
