Postal vehicles in booklet

New stamp booklet

The new booklet of Luxembourg "Postal vehicles of the past" was made up of six stamps of 3 fr and six stamps of 18 fr.

Citroën 2cv Mini-Van (3fr)

This car dates from the middle of the 1960s. The Post purchased only a few of these mini-vans with the steering wheel on the right to make it easier to access mailboxes in urban areas.

Volkswagen "Beetle" (18 fr)

The beetle dates from the beginning of the 1970s. The VW Beetle was known for the robustness of its air cooled engine. This was without doubt the reason it was chosen in the 1960s to be the standard vehicle for the postal service.
The VWQ shown on the stamp is part of the historic heritage of P&T Luxembourg.
Size of the stamps: 27 x 25.7 mm.
