Commemorative USPS Stamp of the family car released to tribute the centennial of the Indianapolis 500 first run in 1911.

One of the most cherished automotive events of any kind was the centennial of the first Indianapolis 500 on Memorial Day. Among the commemorative events for the landmark anniversary was the creation of a U.S. Postal Service stamp honoring the first 500 in 1911, unveiled to go on sale in May 2011.

The USPS “forever” stamp, with imagery of Ray Harroun’s winning Marmon Wasp of 1911 created in Art Deco fashion by John Mattos. The 2011 issue marked the second time that the Wasp has a appeared on a U.S. stamp, the first being as a 17.5-cent postal commemorative stamp that was part of a transportation series. That was in 1987.
