    blue & white
    Pontiac Catalina,
    black & white
    1955 Buick Special,
    red & white
    a few notes from the printing on the back:
    "WHERE REST & FOOD IS KING" (should've been "are", not "is" lol)

    There's some edge wear & corner knocks, and slight creasing in the upper left corner, all to be expected of a card that is 58 years old which has traveled from Oregon to Wisconsin & who-knows-where before it ended up in Texas. Keep in mind that the scans tend to exaggerate things because of the size of the image.
    PLEASE LOOK AT THE PHOTOS CAREFULLY
    & please remember that the scans often exaggerate problem areas because of the magnified images they produce.
    It might look as if there is a slim white border around the post card, & the scans might not be straight; however, that is just my scanning, & trying to make sure I capture all corners & edges.
