USPS issues new Hot Rod Stamps
Hot Rods Stamps
Book of 20 - Forever/49-cents
From the USPS website...
With these two stamps, the U.S. Postal Service® celebrates hot rods, the fast, powerful vehicles that thrill-seeking enthusiasts have been modifying for nearly a century. The cars depicted are 1932 Ford® “Deuce” roadsters.
Hot Rods, the fast, powerful vehicles that thrill-seeking enthusiasts have been modifying for nearly a century, are celebrated on these two eye-popping stamps. Each features an iconic 1932 Ford® “Deuce” roadster. One showcases a black ’32 Ford roadster with orange flames running down the car’s body; the other showcases a red ’32 Ford roadster. Both illustrations were created digitally.
Hot rodding first took hold in the 1920s, when young men began modifying their cars. Aficionados souped up engines, lowered chassis, chopped bodies, and cut excess weight, creating light, fierce machines that looked and moved unlike anything that had rolled off assembly lines.
The Ford Model T and the Ford Model A were popular among early hot rodders, but the 1932 Ford roadster was considered the hottest of them all. The aesthetics of the ’32 Ford roadster made it even more appealing. Its graceful body shape and other stylistic features, including the distinctive grille, endeared it to its fans.
The Hot Rods stamps are being issued as a First-Class Mail® Forever® booklet. These Forever stamps will always be equal in value to the current First-Class Mail one-ounce rate.
Art director Derry Noyes designed the stamps, which feature art by John Mattos.
Made in the USA.
Issue Date: June 06, 2014
Art Director/Designer: Derry Noyes, John Mattos
SKU: 689204
Purchase them here beginning June 04, 2014

Hot Rod's Feb 2010 Cover Car: Packard Straight 8 Rat Rod
The latest issue of Hot Rod features this supercharged Packard flathead straight 8 Rat Rod on the cover.
I first saw this car in the parking lot of a Salt Lake car show back in May 2008. I always wander the parking lot before leaving a show just to see what might be there. This one obviously caught my eye! Here's what I shot that day and a few You Tube videos I found on it, enjoy...
