On June 11, 1985, the USPS issued a stamp to commemorate the Stutz Bearcat, known for setting the trans-American speed record (3,728 miles) in eleven days, seven and one half hours unscathed except for a broken shock-absorber bracket Shown here is a genuine First Day Cover, an envelope with the stamp cancelled from the city of issue (Baton Rouge, La.) on the first day of issue captioned above.
The color cachet (artwork on the envelope) features this legendary sportscar, that averaged 70 mph in the first Indianaolis 500 in 1911. Great art, great history, unaddressed, this cover is a collectible, piece of automobile and postal memorabilia.
Double matted in green & white, this piece will fit a standard 8 x 10 picture frame. ***Certificate of Authenticity Included plus a short history of the Stutz Bearcat***
