Two Men in a Speeding Car
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Roaring Ride Through the 20th Century! This hilarious comic postcard captures the essence of carefree fun and excitement from a bygone era. Two dapper gentlemen, clad in hats and suits, are shown in the backseat of an open-top sports car, their faces beaming with delight as they hold on tight. The driver, with a determined look on his face, is focused intently on the speedometer, his foot pressing down on the accelerator, causing the car to pick up an alarming speed. The passenger, with a hat flying off his head, leans out of the car, arms outstretched, as they whiz past a rural country lane. The red vehicle, with its wheels spinning in the dust, leaves the ground beneath it in a cloud of smoke, as the men seem to defy gravity, their laughter echoing through the open air. The scene is reminiscent of the thrilling, high-speed escapades of classic British comedy, such as the works of Donald McGill and the like. This comic postcard is a delightful reminder of the simple joys of a fast, exhilarating ride, and the unbridled enjoyment that comes from the wind in your hair and the roar of an engine beneath you. A must-have for any collection of vintage humor or automotive memorabilia!
