Colossus, you say?
Shane, it looks like yours is one of the rare post cards showing Colossus actually racing. I have no idea of the date of my card (the cars/vans/campers might be a clue), but it shows a five car PTC train, where yours has racing four car trains.
This coaster debuted with IAD trains, right? Way back in 1978?
edit: are these the original IAD trains, not PTC?

Great Colossus cards, guys! I regret never riding those original IAD trains. The lap bars look a LOT like what Schwarzkopf used on his loopers.
And of course, there was that wicked speed bump after the second drop ...

^That Colossus logo is just awful! Colossus seems to be the theme of the moment so I am going with it. This postcard is pre-neutering with those great NAD trains with the Thunder & Lightning themes.

^ That's an amazing postcard to have there!
And even more amazing how little of an address (and postage) one needed, to get the card to the recipient, LOL!

Maybe it's still only .01 if you send a postcard anonymously, with no message or zip code...
I'll send all my postcards that way this summer and save a bundle!
Seriously though, I can't believe this card went through the postal system and is still in such excellent condition. Must have been a very different system 100 years ago.
