5 New Stamps Celebrate The Pony Car

The US Postal Service (USPS) is commemorating the golden era of the pony car by introducing five new stamps featuring the most famous examples of the breed.

The collection is known as Pony Cars Forever, and the models include the 1969 AMC Javelin SST, 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T, 1967 Mercury Cougar ZR-7 GT, 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, and the 1969Ford Mustang Boss 302.

Scott Bombaugh, chief technology officer and executive vice president of the USPS, will unveil the collection on its official first day of issue at the Great American Stamp Show in August. The ceremony will be open to the public, and everyone is welcome to join.

The USPSpaid tribute to muscle cars in 2013, and this is the first car collection since then. Younger readers might wonder what the stamps are for, but the USPS still has a massive footprint in the USA. Enough of a footprint toannoy the NHTSA.

The USPS is currently the bad boy of the administration after it ignored the NHTSA's recommendations and spent $11.3 billion on a fleet of ICE vehicles to replace the current batch of Grumman Long Life Vehicles. The Postmaster General Louis DeJoy simply stated that "the process needs to move forward," despite thegovernment's insistence on going zero emissionsby 2035.
