A cluster of red-roofed cottages sits among trees at the Rhododendron Motor Lodge, with a large AAA sign and a light blue car parked at the left. The separate units and roadside setting point to the kind of motor court that served mid-century auto tourists in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Blowing Rock was already a summer resort town, and the AAA emblem advertised dependable lodging to passing motorists.
White border; chrome-era color. No postmark and no stamp; unused divided-back card. Printed advertising back for the Rhododendron Motor Lodge, Blowing Rock, N.C., with AAA logo and publisher imprint (Adirondack Resorts Press, Inc., Lake George, N.Y.) along the center divider; caption reads "SOME OF THE COTTAGES AT RHODODENDRON MOTOR LODGE, BLOWING ROCK, N.
