FLORIDA x 2 POSTCARDS - MOTORING THROUGH AN ORANGE GROVE & LINCOLN ROAD - MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, LOOKING EAST

Orange Grove & Roadside Americana, FL between the years 1916 & 1942 style...early motoring fun for all the family and - going by the messages on the back of each of the cards - a complete disregard for International affairs, a lengthy summer vacation and / or a speedboat ride being the main items on the agenda, never mind the world in turmoil...classic!

Two postcards, both used, colored and full of authentic vintage period detail...

Full details for each below...
