Some things about this photo looked strange to me.
The mount is
much brighter than its surroundings.
The black smoke has only just started, indicating the "pedal is to the metal". The smoke is streaming straight back, but there are no whitecaps. There's little splash at the wheel, and scarcely any wake.
Just where would it be steaming/starting from?
The surroundings are sharp, unlike American postcards of the 1950s and 1960s. No touchups are noted.
Color film was introduced to the public in 1942.

Kodacolor: Kodak introduced color print film in 1942 but its slowness and high cost kept it out of the hands of many amateur photographers. This also prevented it from being used to create real color photo postcards as an identical look could be had with the much cheaper process printed photochrome card

So, maybe, the card
is photochrome. Or maybe it is some other process--maybe European/German.
'Sure would like to see the other side of the card--and the postmark! (Please).
Created on my
tiny Smartphone. This was "work".
