Issue Date: February 22, 2013 With the issuance of the Muscle Cars (ForeverÂ®) stamps, the U.S. Postal Service celebrates five iconic automobiles: the 1966 Pontiac GTO, the 1967 Shelby GT-500, the 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, the 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda, and the 1970 Chevelle SS. Each of these cars represents the adventurous spirit of the muscle-car era. Fast, powerful, and eye-catching, muscle cars roared their way onto America's roads in the 1960s. Typically equipped with big, powerful engines, the five high-performance vehicles depicted on the stamps represent the era's adventurous spirit. 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona 1966 Pontiac GTO 1967 Shelby GT-500 1970 Chevelle SS 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda Artist Tom Fritz based his artwork on photographs of the cars. Fritz said he used bright-colored oil paints on hardboard to try to "capture the emotive quality of the vehicles." Growing up in Southern California, Fritz became familiar with the power of muscle cars. The paintings, Fritz added, are "a projection of my memories of the vehicles." Muscle Cars is the third issuance in the America on the Move series. The stamps were designed by art director Carl T. Herrman. The first issuance in the series, 50s Sporty Cars (2005), was followed by 50s Fins and Chrome (2008). The Muscle Cars stamps are being issued as ForeverÂ® stamps in self-adhesive sheets of 20 (4 of each design). Forever stamps are always equal in value to the current First-Class Mail one-ounce rate. Made in the USA.
