This First Day Cover features the 1976 31¢ USAirmail stamp depicting a stylized automobile set against red-and-white stripes of the American flag. It was postmarked in Honolulu, Hawaii on January 2, 1976, with the official "FIRST DAY OF ISSUE" inscription printed below the stamp.
Issued during the U.S. Bicentennial, the stamp celebrated American innovation in transportation and the continuing role of airmail in connecting the nation and the world. The globe-adorned wheels on the car design emphasize international reach through aviation.
The cover carries a clean Honolulu circular date stamp (96820 ZIP) and minimal cachet treatment, letting the striking stamp design stand alone. No addressee appears on the envelope.
A strong addition for collectors of airmail issues, Bicentennial stamps, or transportation topicals, this FDC remains in fresh condition with sharp postmark detail.
