World on Wheels Card No.2
They were published in 1953-54 by the American company Topps in a 160-card set under the title "World on Wheels". They later added 20 more cards, and featured it as a 180-card set; I guest these have blue+black printing on the back and are rarer and more valuable.
The sets included a fairly eclectic mix of vehicles, including passenger cars, sports cars, race cars, buses, commercial vehicles, and military vehicles.
I acquired 17 sports car/race car cards. I haven't finished scanning them, but I thought I'd show off a few of them.

Paul,
Very cool. Don't kill me, but I think these would make awesome drink coasters!!! I imagine their too expensive however to use in such a disparaging way. :-)o
I have a photo of the Cummins Diesel Indy racer here. You'll note the non-resemblance.

Actually, there are a few different Cummins Diesel Indy Racers.
The one one the card is the 1952 version, and the one in your photo is the 1950 version.
There is even a 1931 version!
Cheers!
