America on the Move: 50s Sporty Cars Stamps

America on the Move:  50s Sporty Cars Stamps. Copyright USPS 2004.

The Postal ServiceTM will issue 37-cent, America on the Move: 50s Sporty Cars commemorative stamps in five designs on August 20, 2005, in Detroit, Michigan. The stamps, designed by Art M. Fitzpatrick of Carlsbad, California, go on sale nationwide August 21, 2005.

The America on the Move: 50s Sporty Cars will be issued in a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) double- sided convertible booklet of 20 (Item 673800) and a booklet of 20 stamped cards (Item 980700).

These five stamps feature the sporty look of American cars designed in the 1950s - a decade marked by post- World War II euphoria and economic prosperity. The cars selected are:

• 1952 Nash Healey.

• 1953 Chevrolet Corvette.

• 1953 Studebaker Starliner.

• 1954 Kaiser Darrin.

• 1955 Ford Thunderbird.

Referring to photographs of each car and his own cache of landscape images for the stamp backgrounds, artist Art M. Fitzpatrick has rendered each stamp in meticulous detail. Fitzpatrick was once a car designer and a long-time advertising designer and illustrator for General Motors.

Arthur Ashe Stamp

Arthur Ashe stamp. Copyright USPS 2004.

The Postal ServiceTM will issue a 37-cent, Arthur Ashe commemorative stamp in one design in a pressure- sensitive adhesive (PSA) pane of 20 stamps (Item 457400) on August 27, 2005, in Flushing, New York. The stamp, designed by Carl T. Herrman of Carlsbad, California, goes on sale nationwide August 28, 2005.

Arthur Ashe (1943-1993) is the first African American man to win Grand Slam tennis tournaments - Wimbledon and the United States and Australian Opens. Ashe became as renowned for his intellect, moral character, and commitment to social causes as for his prowess on the tennis courts of the world.

A month before Ashe died, Sports Illustrated named him "Sportsman of the Year" and ran this color photograph of Ashe by Michael O'Neill on the cover of the December 21, 1992, issue. This softly lit, photographic portrait shows a bespectacled Ashe holding a tennis racket in semiprofile against a black background.
