Postcard 1960s Anheuser-Busch Busch Gardens Tampa FL Chrome Ward Beckett

Tampa, Florida, USA1962ChromeExcellent

Pink roses spill forward beneath swaying palm fronds in this lush chrome-era view of the entrance to Anheuser-Busch's Tampa brewery and Busch Gardens — a Southern Florida landmark that began as a free hospitality garden in 1959 before growing into one of America's great theme parks. The warm brick façade of the brewery carries the eagle-and-"A" logo in bold lettering, while casually dressed visitors stroll the manicured grounds, evoking the easy confidence of early Space Age leisure travel. Published by Ward Beckett & Co. of Clearwater, Florida and shot in natural color, this card documents Busch Gardens at its most intimate, years before massive roller coasters reshaped the skyline.
