Humorous motorcar postcards Pt.2

Continued from the first page, here are some more fun postcards that somehow feature motorcars, in the 1930s and 1940s. When you've done here, click here to go back to the first page of postcards, or visit the main Motoring Humour section for other amusing stuff.

A young courting couple are seen here out for a pleasant drive to the woods. He seems to have desires on the young lady sharing the drive in his 2 seat tourer (Morris Eight perhaps???). The franking on this postcard suggests a date of 1935.

One of my favourite of all the postcards I have, The Jam That Mother Made shows a bemused mother causing traffic chaos. The rattled traffic policeman is doing his best to direct traffic, but not really helping the lorry drivers all around. 1937.

Another unused postcard here, so no real idea when it was printed, but surely from the 1930s? The owner of the car introduces his leggy wife to the bloke in a hat. Judging by her legs, in stockings no less, he would be more than happy to make her acquaintance.

This postcard dates to the wartime years in Britain. "Is your Journey Really Necessary" was one of many slogans put out to remind motorists during the war that fuel was strictly rationed, and not exactly plentiful either. The cartoon showed here is of a couple Just Married (again), the car registration OK 42 (Ok For Two) is a nice touch. On the rear is a reminder to "Keep Saving for a Rainy Day" and a brief poem: "We saved to win the war, Our efforts must not cease, By saving more and more, We'll surely win the peace!".
