    Description

    Sent out from the Studebaker Co., Broadway and 48th St., New York City, this interesting piece of automotive advertising history is a gem. Hand-colored in areas of gold and red, this card wished the recipient a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, and asked that they visit a showroom to check out the latest gasoline and electric vehicles.
    Compared to an advertisement in the November 1907 Country Life in America magazine, this car appears to be Studebaker's Model H Limousine.
    Condition: The edges of the card display a silvery fogging that is similar to what is found on older photographic prints. This appears to be a photo postcard but there is a printed reverse and a title displayed in the image area on the front.
    Whatever it is, it's cool and very special.
    Thanks for stopping by.
