Will the 1966 Pontiac GTO Save the Postal Service?


? 2013 U.S. Postal Service

On the fence about the United States Postal Service's new line of muscle car stamps? Well, hopefully The King can convince you. This weekend, ahead of the Daytona 500, Richard Petty, his son Kyle, and Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe will dedicate a run of limited-edition stamps featuring iconic muscle cars of the 1960s and '70s.

The honoree list is a who's who's of classic American muscle: '69 Dodge Charger Daytona, '66 Pontiac GTO, '70 Chevelle SS, '70 Hemi Cuda, and the '67 Shelby GT-500. The work of California-based artist Tom Fritz features each car either from the side, laying down some rubber, or both (except for the GT-500, which looks curiously composed).

If you haven't already ordered these Richard Petty-endorsed, muscle car-emblazoned stamps after reading those first two paragraphs, then consider this: Since these are "Forever" stamps, they will be good for mailing a first-class letter until the end of time. Or, at least, until some nonsense legislation finally dooms the USPS.

Either way, there's no better gateway drug to philately than a howling V-8.
