I got that whole set and that is where I got the Vette stamps from. There are over 360 car stamps in the collection. I started the collection 20 years ago, it was put out to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the automobile in 1885.

That stamp is from the country of Tuvalu, and Island in the South Pacific, was once a British Territory.

I scanned the write up that goes with that stamp for you

Don't remember the car, probably not too many made. I do remember that (I think I got this right) Kaiser Aluminum was a sponsor for the TV show "Maverick" with James Garner on Sunday night.

Its founder, Henry J. Kaiser was a United States industrialist who started making an automobile with the brand name Kaiser after World War II. He also built a small car called the Henry J. The Henry J was also sold through Sears-Roebuck catalogs under the brand name Allstate In 1953, Kaiser purchased the assets of the Willy-Overland Corporation, makers of Willys brand compact cars and Jeep brand name products.

Production of Kaiser and Willys automobiles ceased during the 1955 model year, but continued the production of Willys Jeeps in Toledo, Ohio. Kaiser continued automobile production in Argentina and Brazil using the dies formerly employed in the U.S. well into the 1960s.

The company changed its name to Kaiser-Jeep in 1963, and was subsequently bought out by American Motors in 1970.

This collection was released in September and all the Post Offices around me are out. They also made a framed/matted print with the T-bird large, and each stamp below. Tagged price $39.95. I got the second to last one at my P.O.
