"Night or Day - Stay Del-Ray"

The quintessential tacky postcard, featuring the guy we fondly refer to as Chucklehead. He was the Manager of the the super fine Del-Ray Motel, "2 miles west of Indianapolis, Indiana on Rt. 40. Hot water, T.V., phone, fan every room. Friendly people." He appears in two other cards - the benchmark of collecting.
