Impossibly red against an autumn New England backdrop, a fully restored 1963 Bristol double-decker bus — freshly imported from Britain's Transport System and emblazoned with "Knights Inn / Comfort Rules" — poses beside a Knights Inn roadside sign in this eye-catching promotional postcard from one of America's fastest-growing budget motel chains of the 1970s–80s. The bus, right-hand driven and capable of carrying 70 passengers, was a clever marketing gimmick that became a beloved mascot for the Columbus, Ohio-headquartered chain, then boasting over 175 locations. The back copy proudly declares it "the only 2nd story at Knights Inn," a punny nod to the brand's no-frills, single-story motel philosophy. Never mailed, this unused advertising card is a vivid artifact of the American roadside motel era and a highly collectible piece of transportation and hospitality ephemera.
