Maple Glen Motel London Ontario Canada Vintage Plastichrome Postcard Posted. Discover a nostalgic glimpse of mid-century travel with this vibrant Plastichrome postcard featuring the Maple Glen Motel in London, Ontario, Canada. The front captures the inviting facade of the motel, complete with its distinctive sign advertising "Vacancy," "Steam Heated," and "TV," set against a clear blue sky. Lush trees and manicured landscaping add to the charming roadside appeal, reflecting the typical architecture and ambiance of a North American motor lodge from the era. This collectible postcard, produced by Colourpicture Publishers, Inc. of Boston, is a classic example of their Plastichrome series, known for its vivid colors and crisp detail. The reverse side provides historical context, identifying the location at 1609 Dundas St. E. on Highway No. 2, and even names the owners, Jolan and Steve Selpel. It bears a 3-cent U.S. Liberty stamp, indicating it was posted, and features a handwritten message detailing a cross-country car trip from Detroit through Canada to Pittsburgh and Kent, Ohio, before heading to Oakland, California. This piece offers not only a visual record of a bygone establishment but also a personal narrative of 1950s road trip adventures.
