Comment by Bradford on November 17, 2021 at 4:50pm: I'd love to own/drive the green one; boring, but in a pleasing way. The classic 1960s OPEL Rekord has always been one of my favorites.

Comment by Valentine Mark Herman on November 17, 2021 at 11:06am: Thanks Raphael,

Here's some Boring Postcards of East European cars -- 2 Trabants (both 601 Specials) and a Volga GAZ 21

Comment by Raphael Nadolny on November 17, 2021 at 10:11am: Postcard prepared to promotion in DDR new car: FSO Warszawa ( FSO 223K / 224K). Production of this car started in 1965, so postcard was edited in the same time.

It is very nice news that you have family roots related to Poznań (Posen). This is the city where I was born and I have been connected for almost 40 years. Now it is partly Warsaw, but I have never severed my contacts with Poznań.

Comment by Raphael Nadolny on November 12, 2021 at 1:01pm: Brodnica, Żabno, Manieczki - small villages about 30 kilometers od south form Poznań (Posen). Postcar made after 1990.

Comment by Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on November 9, 2021 at 12:34pm: It is a mining site in Utah, in the ol' days of the 1960's,

most likely "giants" or "aliens" destroying the environment?

But a bit boring as a "wish-you-were-here" postcard????

Comment by Heleen de Vaan on November 9, 2021 at 10:45am: Ooh, it is so hard to consider all boring postcard boring… Katerina’s Utah card I think sooo interesting… Which (giant?) creaturen would walk these natural formed (?) steps, and what causes (and does mean) the cloud or smoky mist bell in the valley? A baby volcano? People (or other (giant?) beings) sending smoke cloud messages? Or….?

To be short: is a postcard which inspires and tells stories still a boring postcard?

Comment by Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on November 8, 2021 at 9:51am: not a car on the streets of Salt Lake city? (1961)

Comment by Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on November 8, 2021 at 9:50am: boring in Utah, too :-)

Comment by Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on November 8, 2021 at 9:47am: My great grandfather was born in Poznan, Poland!

'been there on the way to Warsaw in 2002...
