AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This smart card telephone card, known as a Télécarte 50, features a typical 90s advertising aesthetic, identifiable by both its visual and presentation. On the front, the card displays the "Peugeot Assistance" logo in the upper left, accompanied by a retro visual of a woman posing on the hood of a vintage car, under a blue sky dotted with clouds. This graphic style, with its bright colors and evocative imagery, is characteristic of promotional materials from that era.

A blue insert indicates "Télécarte 50" in the lower left, mentioning the card's capacity, a common format for French telephone cards. To the right, an assistance number "05.44.24.24" is prominently displayed in blue, emphasizing the object's utilitarian function. The Peugeot lion logo is also visible in the upper right, a distinctive element of the brand. The card's electronic chip is clearly visible, typical of late 20th-century French telecommunications.

The graphic design features a contrast between white and blue areas, with touches of black and chrome on the car, creating an eye-catching effect. The card is photographed on a golden yellow fabric, which enhances its colors and sheen. No details of the back are visible in the photo.

The card is rigid, credit card-sized, and made of plastic, as indicated by both the visual aspect and the "Télécarte" terminology used at the time. The corners are rounded, in accordance with the manufacturing standards for smart cards in the 90s.

This Peugeot Assistance Télécarte illustrates both the history of French telecommunications and the world of automotive marketing. It is a tangible testament to the era of public telephones and roadside assistance services before the widespread adoption of mobile phones.
