El Ray Motel Reno Nevada
El Ray Motel Print by Tom Spaulding I can't find any details about the history of this hotel other than it's on North Arlington Avenue in Reno, Nevada. But I love the classic googie architecture. Check out the double boomerangs in weathered yellow and green along with the amoeba-like sign and the stylized lettering. This is a great find [...]
Route 66 Roys Motel Cafe
Roy's Motel & Cafe Sign Print by Nicholas Pitt This cool geometric sign is in Amboy, California. Over the course of the 20th century, this place on old Route 66 slowly became a ghost town, but being in the dessert, it's a well preserved ghost town. For more on the history of Roy's and Amboy, be sure to check out this link. Roy's grew [...]
1964 Mercury Montclair Timewarp
The Montclair Timewarp Print by John De Bord A really eye catching print featuring a classic American car. This appears based on the tail lights and fins to be roughly a 1964 Mercury. The chrome and colors are really well captured by the photographer. It literally feels as if you could reach in and touch this classic car. And of course, [...]
Radio City
Radio City Music Hall by James Howe Radio City Music Hall, part of the massive 12 acre Rockefeller Center, opened in 1932, a few years into the great depression.

The sign itself is an excellent example of Googie architecture. While I couldn't find any information on the age of this hotel, based on the design of the sign, [...]

1957 GMC Truck
1957 GMC Truck Print by James Howe A classic model GMC Truck in detail. Obviously lovingly restored with bright chrome and shiny turquoise paint. This old beauty has probably been loved more in its second life than when it was a work horse in the middle of the 20th century. The sleek lines of automobiles from this period may not [...]
Classic New York City Cab
Vintage NYC Checkered Cab Detail by Sherri Jackson A really warm nostalgic shot of the classic taillights of a classic New York City icon, the yellow taxicab complete with the trademark Checkers! This style of cab is as closely associated with NYC as the black cabs are with London. They were produced through most of the 20th century. Most [...]

This old sign is a great find. From the mammoth Motel to the arrow pointing down, you could not have missed this old motor inn! This print is taken with an [...]
