Vintage Borderland Travelodge Chula Vista CA Postcard Mirro-Krome 1950s. SEE MULTIPLE SCANS OF ITEM. Step back in time with this vibrant vintage postcard showcasing the Borderland Travelodge in Chula Vista, California. This charming Mirro-Krome card captures the motel's inviting mid-century architecture, complete with its distinctive central tower and well-manicured grounds. Lush green lawns are accented by colorful flower beds lining the circular driveway, leading to the one-story motel units, suggesting a welcoming oasis for travelers. Published by H. S. Crocker Co., Inc. of San Francisco, this postcard is a wonderful piece of California's roadside history. The reverse side details the lodge's amenities, including "de luxe, fully carpeted units with full-tile baths" and "Saf-Air heat," along with its convenient location just "4½ miles to Tijuana, Mexico." It also highlights recommendations from notable organizations like AAA, Duncan Hines, and the Automobile Club of Southern California, making it a significant collectible for enthusiasts of vintage travel, California history, and mid-century Americana. The specific phone number details place this postcard firmly in the post-1954 era, capturing a golden age of American road trips and motor lodge culture.
