If there is one facet of American design that rivals the fashion industry for sexiness, it is the automobile. All of these cars were found on eBay, and the photography is spectacular. Expensive and stylish, these automobiles speak to a time when gasoline was as plentiful as water and the highway beckoned to drive it. How can you not fall in love with these kings and queens of the road?
Accidental Mysteries is an online curiosity shop of extraordinary things, mined from the depths of the online world and brought to you each week by John Foster, a writer, designer and longtime collector of self-taught art and vernacular photography. “I enjoy the search for incredible, obscure objects that challenge, delight and amuse my eye. More so, I enjoy sharing these discoveries with the diverse and informed readers of Design Observer.”
