Printed by the rotary process in blue and issued in panes of 50.
The 4-cent "Wheels of Freedom" stamp was first placed on sale at Detroit, Michigan, on October 15, 1960, in conjunction with the opening of the National Automobile Show there.
The stamp is 0.84 by 1.44 inches in dimension, arranged horizontally, printed by the rotary process in blue, and issued in panes of 50.
The design features three illustrations between the spokes of a symbolic steering wheel—a passenger car, truck and tractor. As a background, and linked by the central subject, are globes, with the Western Hemisphere to the left and the Eastern Hemisphere to the right. All lettering is in dark Roman.
