EFSP's Dazzling Dozen: Stars & Cars

The year 1886 is regarded as the birth year of the modern car. The birth of the cinema followed only nine years later. These two symbols of the modern age often drove on together. Since the 1920s, nearly all cars have been mass-produced and around the globe, majestic movie palaces were built to entertain the masses. Both were symbols of glamour and luxury, and sometimes star postcards seem to promote not only the cinema but also the car industry. Surprising is the amount of female stars that were shown driving a car. So here are twelve postcards of stars with their new cars.
