This vintage linen postcard showcases a unique historical landmark: the first bank automobile window in Illinois, located at the Bank of Benton. The postcard features two vivid illustrations from 1947, including a green convertible car with a 1947 Illinois license plate, and a driver engaging with a teller through the bank's auto window. The images are printed on textured linen cardstock, known for its vibrant colors and durability, typical of postcards produced between 1930 and 1945. Published by Genuine Curteich-Chicago under their 'C.T. Art-Colortone' series, this 5.5 x 3.5 inch postcard captures a nostalgic moment in American banking and automotive history. Collectors and enthusiasts of mid-20th century Americana, Illinois landmarks, or vintage automotive themes will appreciate the distinct charm and historical significance of this piece. The postcard is an original United States manufacture, highlighting the innovation of drive-up banking services in small-town America.
