Has anyone else collected old postcards just because they contain old cars!
I have quite a collection and have also gathered a few from the net.
I'll start this post with some postcards from around the world, unfortunately the scans vary in size and quality but are clear enough to make out those lovely old cars in their prime!
Wherever possible I have left the accreditation should the photo be from a web source.

Post yours below, anything will do - either old postcards or period photographs showing vehicles 'back in the day'.
Let's start over in Hollywood....





Nice Corsair in Torromolinos...



In the Alps At the Grimsel pass in Switzerland with an early Standard Vanguard and Austin a40...



Difficult to make out where this atmospheric nigh time scene was taken..Germany?



Rome...



The French resort of Menton in 1966...



And finally for now, no prizes for guessing...

Ok here's a few more.
This first one is from Klosters the up market ski-ing resort favoured by Brit 'royals'. Note the two Austin A40 covertibles back to back on the left!



Hong Kong



'Opel city'



And this next one was taken in Nice on the 25th mar 1950 to be exact! Anyone know the car in the foreground?
