Holiday postcard with a young woman driving an open automobile with Santa Claus in the back, who is holding gifts in his left hand. He is wearing a red suit and a gold and white hat. The woman is wearing a white fur coat and hat. The car is full of greenery and gifts, and it is snowing. A decorative gold border is on the right, top and upper left. Chromolithograph. The image is embossed. The image is suggesting the hold that the automobile already had on the popular imagination.
