This is a USPS postal card (not a separate stamp envelope) featuring the 75th Anniversary Indianapolis 500 pictorial cancellation. The cachet/cancel design is printed in gray-black ink and depicts the official Indianapolis 500 winged wheel logo with a checkered flag band and '500' lettering inside a triangular emblem, noting 'MAY 26, 1991' inside the design. The preprinted stamp in the upper right is a USA 19-cent American flag stamp printed directly on the postal card stock. The cancellation text reads 'INDIANAPOLIS INDIANA 46224 / ANNIVERSARY STATION' with the date MAY 18 1991 on the left.

This First Day Cover commemorates the 75th anniversary of the Indianapolis 500, featuring a black and white cachet with the official winged wheel logo and a checkered flag design. The stamp is a 19-cent red, white, and blue U.S. flag design (Scott #UX152). A pictorial cancellation with 'INDIANAPOLIS INDIANA 46224' and 'MAY 18 1991' is centered on the stamp, incorporating the anniversary theme with additional winged wheel and checkered flag elements. The text '75th INDIANAPOLIS 500 ANNIVERSARY STATION' appears in the cancellation. The cover is in clean, undamaged condition.
(The automatic summaries sometimes misidentify the postmark as part of the cachet artwork.)
