Seller's description

UFO Christmas Cards, Starlight Motor Lodge, Retro Sci-Fi Pulp Cover, Desert Motel.

A flying saucer has arrived above the motor lodge, and Christmas check-in has suddenly become more interesting. Christmas at the Starlight Motor Lodge brings neon, classic cars, desert mesas, and a mysterious holiday star together on a fictional pulp-cover greeting card for retro sci-fi fans and lovers of roadside Americana.

A vast silver saucer hangs over a Christmas-decorated desert motel. Below it, guests pause among brightly colored period cars to look into the evening sky. The lobby glows with a Christmas tree, wreaths, and warm light, while the red-and-teal STARLITE MOTOR LODGE sign promises familiar roadside hospitality.

Beyond the lodge, mesas rise against an orange sunset. Overhead, an unusually brilliant star shares the sky with an arrival no one expected.
The cover announces “Flying Saucers Over Yucca Mesa!”, “The Christmas Star No Scientist Could Explain!”, and “A Holiday Mystery from the Atomic West!” Bold newsstand lettering and a deliberately aged printed border turn a welcoming overnight stop into an improbable Christmas adventure.
From ATOMIC HOLIDAY STORIES — The Pulp Sci-Fi Christmas Collection by Cavern Emporium.

This newly printed greeting card features original vintage-style artwork designed as a fictional mid-century pulp-magazine cover. The December issue label, A Cavern Future Publication imprint, and illustrated 25¢ price belong to the artwork. The product is a greeting card, with no magazine stories inside; the illustrated cover price is not the purchase price.

An imaginative choice for science-fiction readers, UFO-art fans, classic-car enthusiasts, mid-century design admirers, desert travelers, and friends who love old motor courts and the unexpected. Larger packs also suit independent lodging businesses, automotive clubs, travel businesses, and science-fiction groups sending holiday greetings.
