A postcard from 1969

I found this postcard in a charity shop among fifty other relics from someone’s trip to Switzerland and northern Italy.

1969 Lancia Flavia saloon in Stresa, Italy (the Palace of Congress).

The car is 1969 Lancia Flavia saloon. That shadow is a little unfortunate. Can anyone say what the car in the background might be?

I like anchovies. I dislike post-war town planning.

  1. Swap the Italian cars for BMC’s finest, make the clouds slightly greyer and this could be Leicester or any other UK city in the 1970s. “Modern” architecture is a curse.
