Why this PC depicting Geneva's Grand Theâtre? Well, if you look carefully
in the lower RH corner, you'll see a 1959 Series 62 convertible [blown-up, right].
It belonged to a Geneva doctor [more details about it in the 1959 Dream Cars section]

The attire of the person on the rear deck (left) and the card's message suggest that it was
intended for members of San Francisco's gay community. It reads I love you so f***ing much, it hurts!
(pardon my French!) It was published in 1982 by Exposed Cards. I assume that the person featured
in the other card (right) is a cross-dresser [man's hands and legs] and that the card, again,
was intended for the gay community. There is no message or indication of the publisher
