Thursday Postcard Hunt - Travelling: Buses and/or Cars

 The last of the Travelling theme for Thursday Postcard Hunt is Buses and/or Cars.

BUSES

A Haitian tap tap, a share taxi. 

The Greyhound Sceniccruiser bus, manufactured between 1954 and 1956, but used into the mid-1970s.  The postcard is from the 1960s, the same years my father rode a Greyhound from the top of our street's hill to and from his job in San Francisco. 

My parents had a red VW bus when I was young (they also had a few of the beetles, or bugs).  It didn't have the sunroof though.  On several vacations I was short enough to sleep widthwise on the floor, while they slept in the back with the seat down.  This one is older, a 1960 Samba, the high-end version.  I have loads of old car advertising postcards, especially 1970s Opels!

CARS

1950 Meyra 35
The Meyra was a lightweight German microcar made in the 1930s into the 1950s.  It was originally designed as an "invalid carriage," or wheelchair accessible vehicle for disabled war veterans. Later the company made two-seaters, four-seaters, and a sports model.

The 1956 Fiat Multipla was Fiat's first true mini-van, with three rows for six passengers (four in comfort!), and "suicide doors."  It was only made between 1955 and 1960.

1977 Oldsmobile Centennial, fourth in a series.  I only have two.

In September our theme is Bridges.  Oh, do I ever have a lot of bridge postcards, especially covered, which will not be... covered!   Next week will be Bridges Over Land.
