Houston Radio Report homepage - 2003 KPFT ArtCar Redesign
I collect recently-issued tobacco cards, such as those offered by Doral cigarettes and by Natural American Spirit cigarettes. This has inspired me to create my own version of a tobacco card, featuring an ArtCar that I designed. I have released this card in conjunction with the current offering of Doral cigarettes' "On the Road" automobile series cards. I refer to my car as a "Very Limited Extra Special Edition" which is produced exclusively by me and will be offered only through the summer of 2004. Additionally, the KPFT ArtCar tobacco card is likely the first in a growing series that I will issue.

The KPFT ArtCar tobacco card is the same exact size as the cards currently issued by Doral cigarettes (2.6875" X 1.5") and is slightly longer that the cards issued by Natural American Spirit cigarettes (2.5" X 1.5"). The KPFT ArtCar tobacco card is printed on sturdy photo-quality paper.
