Ever wanted to own a classic car but couldn’t afford one? Later this fall, 50 million Detroit classics will roll out of 37,000 U.S. Post Office showrooms as the second issuance in the America on the Move commemorative stamps series.

The ’50s Fins and Chrome 42-cent First-Class stamps go on sale Oct. 3, and feature paintings by renowned automobile illustrator Art. M. Fitzpatrick.

The stamps were modelled after cars still on the road today and depict a 1957 Chrysler 300C, ’57 Lincoln Premiere, ’57 Pontiac Safari, ’57 Studebaker Golden Hawk and a big-finned 1959 Cadillac Eldorado.
