USPS issued on 12 August 2022 five first day cover stamps commemorating the iconic American Pony Car. The one shown here is the 1969 Javelin SST. The other four U.S. automobiles included the 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 302, the 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T, the 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, the 1967 Mercury Cougar XR-7.
The car artwork was based on oil paint and set in panels, with bold colours and dramatic light, capturing the energy and mystique of the 'pony cars' from that American automobile era.
This particular First Day Cover stamp is affixed and postmarked on a maxim card (postcard) issued by the USPS. The postmark 'Pony Car' originated from Sacramento, California.
Being the Javelin aficionado that I am, I just had to get this stamp affixed to the maxi card.
