Description: To celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the Automobile, a group of six English-speaking nations (Grenada, Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent, Bequia & Union Island, and Tuvalu) assembled a collection of postage stamps featuring cars. This collection is said to be the most comprehensive collection of car stamps ever issued. The album was produced starting in 1984 when the Stamp Collectors Society of America issued a monthly series of pages, each monthly issue including pages of stamps, full color plates and profiles. The complete set is 306 pages, held in a six-ring black album with gold lettering, which was provided exclusively to subscribers. In addition to the 306 numbered pages there is an appendix describing the issuing nations and listing the cars depicted in stamps, the color plates and the profiles. This album’s 306 pages combine: (a) history and description of 361 different cars from all over the world and all eras; (b) photo album - full page color plates- of 61 of these cars; (c) stamp album - 670 stamps depicting all 361 cars; and (d) profiles of 60 noted manufacturers, designers and race car drivers. Domestic shipping only. I do not offer local pick up. Thank you for looking.
