Big Kid Toys and HH

HH is not the type one would usually associate with Big Kid Toys – in this case referring to General Motors.  A postcard, however, is a different story.  This one sent to Wendy from her grandparents on their return to NYC after the Israel trip.  Transcription follows.
Captioned: General Motors Building* 767 Fifth Avenue, New York City.  Big Kid Toys.  Fast becoming one of the city's must see attractions, the lobby of the General Motors Building features high-quality new and concept automotive products in a colorful and thought provoking display.

We are here looking around at the new models.  You would like this.

*****
*The General Motors Building is a 50-story office tower which occupies a full city block and was formerly the site of the Savoy-Plaza Hotel.  It was built in the 1960s.  In 2011 the lobby is occupied by FAO Schwarz's flagship toy store.  Also in this building is an Apple store.
