c.1955 FLY TWA Phoenix Disneyland Las Vegas Quickie Vacation RARE
Date: c.1955Artist: Unknown Size (in): 40.675” x 25”Size (cm): 103.3 x 63.5Condition: B/B-Linen backed: Yes This rare poster was issued by the TWA airline in the mid 1950s as part of their “3D-QV” promotion. This 3D-QV promotion advertised a three destination quickie vacation package that included stopovers in Las Vegas, Disneyland and Phoenix. This poster isn’t dated but we find TWA advertising published in 1955 utilizing the 3D-QV tagline and the Lockheed Constellation aircraft shown on the poster supports a mid 1950s date. Disneyland opened in July 1955 so this poster must be one of the first issued by an airline promoting Disneyland as a travel destination. This poster has been professionally backed to linen with expert touchup and repair as needed. The day-glow yellow lettering for LAS VEGAS as well as the white text box with “Phoenix Disneyland Las Vegas” and the “3D-QV *3 destination Quickie Vacation” text were silkscreened onto the poster after it was printed.
