For cute, we get Shirley Temple. Music, Sarah Vaughn. Outer space? The U.S. Postal Service has that covered too, with 2016 stamps that feature both actual planets and fictional space explorers (Star Trek).
For those of us who love everything on four wheels, however, anticipation continues to build for the release of four stamps that feature fantastic illustrations of iconic American pickup trucks. They'll be officially released on July 15th at the Syracuse Nationals classic car show.
If you haven’t seen promotional photos of the truck stamps (generally posted not far from images of the FBI’s Most Wanted), we’re all-too happy to fill you in.
Chosen by the USPS to celebrate “the rugged and reliable work vehicles that Americans have driven for nearly a century” are:
The utilitarian pickups were illustrated by Chris Lyons, whose work has appeared in a number of publications, including Road & Track magazine.
The 47-cent “Forever” stamps will be sold as a double-sided pane of 20.
The USPS also offered auto-related stamps in 2013 (American Muscle Cars) and 2014 (Hot Rods).
