Cars & Races in Postcards

Many postcards were published with pictures of cars and races. Before the race, there could have some pictures of the road, and just after the race were published postcards of the winner and all the cars with sometimes engine details. Famous races remain now in picture with good shots sent by mail. Some souvenir stickers may also be found on the postcards.

Here are shown some of the famous French races around 1905:
