Photographic Blank Post Card Publication: (n. p.): Chrysler Motors Corporation, (n. d.) Edition: Ca 1934 Description: Real Photo Post Card. B/w photographic image of a cheery Oldfield leaning on his Plymouth enjoying a cigar. 5-1/2" x 3-1/4". Now housed in a clear archival mylar sleeve. Moderate wear to paper, including rubbing and light soiling. A VG example. "I've been driving cars ever since they've been built but I've never driven a car that I like as well as the new Plymouth. How this car performs! More power and speed than I ever require and no vibration, due to Floating Power engine mountings. Plymouth's Individual Front Wheel Springing accounts for the softest, smoothest ride imaginable. And the protection of Safety Steel bodies and Hydraulic Brakes make all speeds safe. That's why I like my Plymouth."Oldfield "was a pioneer American racing driver. His name was 'synonymous with speed in the first two decades of the 20th century'. He was the winner of the inaugural AAA National Championship in 1905. Oldfield began auto racing in 1902 and continued until his retirement in 1918. He was the first man to drive a car at 60 miles per hour on a circular track." [Wiki].
