Cruising With the Classics
Brake for beauty
You hand-waxed this beauty. Cleaned the whitewall tires. And revved the 4-barrel engine. Time to roll down the windows, lock down the canvas top, and tune in your favorite AM rock station before rolling down the road. Gone are the days of of cruising the strip and watching drive-in movies, but you can still drive the gleaming machines that made many a memorable night. Get the keys to one of these American beauties and take a motor down memory lane.
Something’s missing. A pillow in the bedroom. A rug in the den. Or is it just a feeling? Sometimes a simple element or object is what turns a house into home. Give your residence a bit of personality with a piece of classic Americana. Dress the bed in vintage blankets, woven with Old West designs. Drop your smartphone and keys on a handcrafted side table. Then relax in a soft leather chair, stretched and sewn at a time when life moved at a slower pace. It’s high time to usher in your home’s future look with pieces from the American past.
It’s the shoe so sought-after that it nearly caused a riot. Iconic New York skateboarding brand Supreme teamed up with Nike to create a new version of the Air Foamposite 1, and sneakerheads everywhere unlaced themselves with joy. Hordes flocked to Supreme’s Soho store to get their hands on the first of the coveted kicks. So many of them, in fact, that the cops shut down the sale, and no windows were broken—only hearts. Online, the beautifully detailed foam sneakers sold out in minutes. But you can get in on the action and celebrate the Supreme x Nike love, with this collaborative collection.
Wooden rocking chairs creak under women as they knit. Children dutifully perform household chores. Fresh bread rises in the coal oven. Floors are swept. Cows milked. The Amish shape their lives—and their homes—with simplicity, modesty, and utility. Before them, there were the Shakers, who also believed in austere living and hard work—like taking the time to handcraft everyday objects, such as plain cherrywood dressers or quilts for chilly nights. Simplify your home’s décor with this collection of Amish and Shaker goods.
Bench seats as big as sofas. Fenders for miles. Your parents’ old car was like family. Afternoon drives and driving lessons. Picnics and road trips. But in ads, those same classic autos were spaceships. The future. The latest. Machines made more for transcendence than transportation. They were cars to be driven by the fastest, the hippest, and the smartest. And that meant you, sharp in a Packard, smart in a Beetle, at full cruise in an Oldsmobile. Take a trip back to when cars were the of stuff dreams with this collection of vintage ads.
Wait a second. Something catches your eye. Among abstract canvases covered with colors, it draws you in with its familiarity. A word. A palm tree. A can of soup. These everyday images trigger strong sensory reactions, an effect that American art has sought out and refined since the 1960s. The Pop Art movement pressed the reset button on art itself, and began to rethink the blank canvas. The line. Any and all standards. These artists’ complex but accessible work has influenced creative Americans ever since. So color your worldview with this collection of American artworks.

See that shiny bauble? It’s the wealthy widow, decked out in her diamonds. For hotel VIP Madame D, service at The Grand Budapest was always tip-top. One might also say she was a favorite of concierge M. Gustave’s: rich, old, insecure, superficial, vain, and blonde. In others words: perfect. When she dies mysteriously, Madame D leaves Gustave “Boy with Apple,” a priceless Renaissance painting. And paints him into a corner. Create a rich portrait of your own with this unmissable collection.
Forget the clichés: Wind in your hair. Sun on your face. The desire to drive a classic convertible runs deeper than that. It comes from someplace soulful and wild. Drop-tops speak to the part of us that craves mischief. A faster pulse. A sense of thrill. Break the routine of modern life and take the wild ride—in one of these classic convertibles.
Ah, the road less traveled. People lament the paths they didn’t take. But for you? It’s the cars less driven that really sting. The steering wheels untouched. The chrome unpolished. The engines un-revved. Luckily, there’s still time. Still plenty of old beauties to go around. Convertible or coupe, two doors or four, muscle car or luxury. Whatever fits your driving fancy, find the stuff dreams are made of in this classic car collection.

It’s the sound that you can’t forget. The buzz, or the hum, or the roar. A Vespa speeding along the coast, or a BMW rambling down cobblestone streets. Wherever you love to ride, you’re sure to turn heads on a sleek European two-wheeler. Open it up on the Pacific Coast Highway. Or unbridle the 250-horses through Moab. Get moving with this collection of classic European motorcycles.
A loud rumbling shakes the whole neighborhood. You feel it coming, long before it rounds the bend. It’s the “rat”—the big block V-8 engine in a retooled rat rod. Rat rods look like traditional hot rods of the ’40s, ’50s, and ’60s, but with a beastly twist. No look-but-don’t-touch topcoats here. Sometimes, not even a hood. Rat rods are rough on the outside, and rough on the inside, composed of scavenged, junkyard parts. And with this makeshift collection, you’ll come to love them in all their rusty, hand-built charm.
All you hear is a roar. It drowns everything else out. That’s OK—this car wasn’t made for conversation. Scooped hood snarling over a chrome fender. Burning fast from 0 to 60, windows down, 400 horses galloping madly. It’s not a muscle car because it’s stronger. It’s a muscle car because it’s wilder. Rock and roll’s spirit animals, these rides leave other pretenders in their dust. And with this muscular collection, you’ll be the one in the driver’s seat.
Careful. The tower made of blocks wobbles as it grows higher and higher. The pretend kitchen (wood stove, wood table, wood food) triggers phantom fragrances of cooking. Wooden toys recall an era when everyday objects were handcrafted with love and care. And a healthy dose of imagination. Time to return to simple. To the natural. To no-frills. Add some simplicity to playtime with this collection of wonderful wooden toys.

Remember when games didn’t require Wi-Fi? Or controllers and headsets? A board with a few wooden pieces was pretty much all you needed. Maybe some paper money, or a Pop-o-matic bubble. Old-school board games were so simple, and they could still entertain for hours. They still can. Just pry your own hand away from the tablet. Invite some friends over, grab some snacks, find an empty surface, and party like you’re in your parents’ basement with these classic board games.
“Don’t touch that.” “Wash your hands.” “Be careful.” If you’re a parent, you’ve issued these warnings in an elevated pitch, a million times. Childhood comes with more than a few scrapes, bruises and head-bonks, especially for the adventuresome tyke. But no need to fret. Let them run, jump and get sticky—even germy—to their heart’s content. This collection of kid gear, from sprays to helmets, to full on bubble-suits, will keep your precious ones safe and sound as they romp around.

A pocket full of quarters, and a soda or two, and any gamer could spend all night in the arcade playing PONG. The 1972 simulated tennis game never got old. Never needed a sequel. It was all about the high score. And it sparked the whole video game craze. In the early years of games, Atari, which means “to hit the target” in Japanese, was unstoppable. From Space Invaders to Pac-Man (and his bow-wearing counterpart), they always hit their mark. This collection tips its controller to the retro company that only gets better with age.
Godzilla is lurking in your backyard. Towering over the lawn. Angry-faced. Unlike in the movies, though, he’s as harmless as a fly. In inflatable rubber, the lizard is tame. Imagine living with all of your favorite wild beasts—without inviting destruction. Let your kids experience the bigger picture with this collection of oversized toys. They won’t bite.
Stroll down the garden path—past the honeysuckle and hydrangea. Pick a piece of mint from the herb plot for your teapot. Breathe in the sugary-sweet scents, and try to make nice with the bees. For your breakfast table, trim a few blushing roses. For the bath, lavender. And is that a weed? Nip it in the bud. Give your green thumb a wink and a smile. Everything’s in full bloom with this gardening collection.
