Early 1940s roadside courts were typically arranged as low, detached cabins or single-story units positioned along broad forecourts, often paired with gas service and prominent signage to attract motorists traveling between regional hubs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"668\" data-end=\"1059\"\u003eThe card presents a wide view of De Luxe Courts with its vertical roadside sign, low cabin-style units, and open gravel drive set back from the highway. The lower caption notes its location on U.S. 66, one-half mile east of the junction of U.S. Highways 65 and 66. Soft coloration and matte surface reflect linen-era production typical of the early 1940s, and the reverse is postmarked 1942.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1061\" data-end=\"1348\"\u003eThe item shown in the listing is the exact item the collector will receive.
