About this postcard

A colorized view down a paved, tree-shaded road with a single automobile approaching in the distance, captioned as the Dixie Highway between Asheville and Hendersonville, North Carolina. The Dixie Highway was a major early-20th-century north–south auto route linking the Midwest to Florida, and the mountainous western North Carolina stretch through the Blue Ridge was promoted as one of its most scenic sections. The card number 225 and the plate number 22298 in the lower corner mark it as a mass-produced view of the era.
