Antique & Vintage Postcards

A gleaming silver-and-red tunnel bus labeled "Tunnel to Windsor" barrels through the brightly lit Detroit-Windsor Tunnel in this vivid mid-century chrome card, passing a pale green 1950s sedan while patriotic murals on the tiled wall mark the invisible border between the United States and the Dominion of Canada — a crossing millions made daily for work, shopping, and adventure. Sent in August 1956, the card carries a cheerful note from Verda to Annie reporting on a solo Canadian adventure: she stopped at Prince Edward Hotel, noted a wonderful rain in the hometown paper, and was savoring "a nice trip" before heading home on the 5th, where temperatures had dipped to 52°F one night.
