Post cards from Karel

An ‘Auto’biography of History

(Picture above)
This beautiful blue MGA card is from the English company Golden Era. They used a set of MG art of various models, called MG Greats, for post cards, coasters, trading cards etc. The name of the artist is not on the card. The text on the back side is:

Introduced in 1955, the MGA was essentially an all-new design, replacing the much loved but outdated T-type models. Illustrated is the last variant of the MGA theme.
From Reinout Vogt.

This postcard shows a MGA at the Municipal Nursing Service is Zaventem, Belgium. The MGA looks like a 1600 and Zaventem is a small town just outside Brussels where the largest international airport in Belgium is. Nursing Service is the direct translation but in the 50’s-60’s it probably was some sort of medical office for vaccinations and minor health issues.
