Car Enthusiast Barry Meguiar Helps Launch New Hot Rods Forever® Stamps at the National Street Rod Association East plus Conference
U.S. Hot Rods Stamp
Hot Rods have captured the attention of people across America since the 1920s, when people began souping-up their engines and transforming their cars for drag racing and exhibition. The world of customized cars still thrives today and is showcased throughout American pop culture in movies, television, car shows and museums.
Now, the U.S. Postal Service is paying tribute to one of America’s favorite hobbies. The U.S. Postal Service honors the “Best of America” by introducing limited-edition stamps that celebrate various American passions, including hot rods. The new stamps appeal to automotive buffs of all ages, celebrating the fast, powerful vehicles that thrill-seekers have been modifying for nearly a century. Be sure to check these stamps out at your local Gainesville, FL Post Office.
Each of the two stamps showcase an iconic 1932 Ford “Deuce” roadster, the most popular hot rod model of its time. The stamps will be available for purchase at major Post Office™ locations across the country and online at usps.com/stamps and ebay.com/stamps.

He was born in Southern California where the car hobby began shortly after. He currently hosts “Car Crazy” on the Velocity Channel. The show originally began airing on the SPEED channel over 17 years ago when car shows were suffering in attendance and car clubs were decreasing in number.
