Toward the end of 2020 and as the pandemic started to cool, I noticed a significant uptick in interest in the vintage car posters I offer. Generally speaking, I believe potential buyers were becoming more relaxed about our "new normal" and because they were spending more time at home, increased their desire to be surrounded by interesting "things." I recently read an article in Bloomberg that echoed much of the same but was more focused on travel posters. Enjoy!

I'm a little sad to see it go, but the 1961 356 + Rifle is off to a new home. I always take care to send posters in an extra sturdy Yazoo Mills heavy duty tube to (almost) guarantee a client's poster will get to them safely and without damage!

With so many decades passing since their original publication, it is getting more and more difficult to find good posters. Additionally, because some of these posters were printed in limited quantities and often given away, in many instances they were often just tacked up on a wall or left to molder in a basement.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, I missed Monterey Car week entirely this year. Normally I go out there for a few days, take in a few formal events and reconnect with friends and customers. As the whole week was cancelled last year due to COVID, missing it this year made it even more of a downer.  One of my traditions during car week is stopping by the Madonna Inn Copper Cafe either on the way up or way down. It's an old-school diner located in San Luis Obispo with food that punches above its weight. Highly recommended if you're passing through!...
