    Can anyone guess the origin? No it isn't the obvious...

    Is it a reminder to always wear your seat belts?

    Good guesses, neither are close...

    I'll come up with some clues...

    How about this??

    The picture doesn't really have solid a clue...

    mail order bride?
    regardless of where its from its a great snap shot of a simpler better time.
    back then getting mail meant something. now getting mail is just like opening a window its no big deal

    I would say somewhere around 1975 since the car looks to in really nice shape I could see it being new or close to it

    this is fun

    Not Sears & not Mail Order Bride(that I don't think I've heard of)..

    No doubt new or at least almost so... Maybe a rental for photo shoot?(note door edge guards)... Date on publication is Feb '75

    I'll set back while the guessing continues, if someone hits it I'll jump back in...

    No idea. Didn't try to guess. Instead did some research. Came across this in the process...

    Now my guess is something about dad being in the military, and the girl is sending a letter to him. Too late for Vietnam, but still...
