Millions of classic cars from the 1950s rolled out of the Motor City recently, guaranteed to cross the country for just 37-cents. Available in five makes and models, the "America on the Move: 50s Sporty Cars" commemorative stamps hit the road following a first-day-of-issue dedication ceremony in Detroit August 20, 2005.
These collectibles — a '53 Chevrolet Corvette, '54 Kaiser Darrin, '52 Nash-Healey,'53 Studebaker Starliner, and a '55 Ford Thunderbird — are also available as stamped postal cards, and can be driven off the lot of Post Offices and Philatelic Centers nationwide.
Fitzpatrick was only 20 when he designed the Darrin Packard four-door convertible and hard-top sedans. While working for noted car designers and coach builders John Tjaarda (Briggs Body), Werner Gubitz (Packard), and "Dutch" Darrin, Fitzpatrick helped custom build cars for personalities such as Clark Gable, Errol Flynn and Al Jolson. |
