Hi folks -- I saw this on Ebay this morning and thought it was rather unique, in that I have never sen this brochure before, That stamps are not particularly expensive, but it is a nice touch in making M-B owners feel that they are special, and are a part of a larger historical context. If I am not mistaken, the stamps were issued in the late 1950s. At about the same time M-B also sponsored a Riverside Records (see a past post) LP record on the sounds of its 1930s race cars also directed towards owners.
This blog will expand on themes and topics first mentioned in my book, "The Automobile and American Life." I hope to comment on recent developments in the automobile industry, reviews of my readings on the history of the automobile, drafts of my new work, contributions from friends, descriptions of the museums and car shows I attend and anything else relevant.
