Looking at these installations, I imagine they are like clues indicating a secret trail somewhere otherworldly. Like something out of a children’s book, Hansel and Gretel have left a trail, but instead of white pebbles, this time they’ve left retro lamps. Alas it’s not Hansel and Gretel with a new flair for vintage objects, this [...]
Yesterday I was offered a pass to the Retro Car Expo in Paris. I’d wanted to go to a retro car show ever since I’d found out it was an option for me several seconds earlier. So I had to go. Plus I dig old cars. This is what I learned… 1. The Citroën DS [...]
It’s not exactly the Tour de France, but introduced in 2009 and inspired by London’s Tweed Run, Paris has its very own “Beret Baguette” ride celebrating French flair for fashion, gastronomy and the trusty two-wheeled transporters. The annual group ride is attended by up to 500 Parisians and fixie enthusiasts are encouraged to don the [...]
I‘m one of those people who, in the event of being elected King and Queen of f**king everything, would pass a law that enforced car manufacturers to design cars like they used to in the good old days of classic car design. And to prove that modern technology cars can look classic and beautiful, I would use [...]
Photograph by Thomas Wrede At their peak, in the late 1950s, there were almost 5000 drive-ins. Today, there are only 366 drive-ins operating in the United States. The outdoor theaters saw a dramatic decline in the 70s and 80s and many of their remains can still be found off highways, marked by rusting entrance marquees [...]
For many couples, the difference between being officially bound together and just sharing the same toilet is that big, white, expensive wedding. But a big white wedding may not be the elixir of life for everyone. So how about a coin-operated one?! I present to you, the Autowed. For £1 this automated machine will play [...]
I‘ve heard Fucking is fabulous in the Spring. Too old for schoolyard humor? Never! It has a population of just 104 and lies 4 kilometres from the German border in west Austria. And it’s name really is Fucking. The unfortunately-named village (pronounced fooking) is a peaceful place. The only crime ever reported here was for the [...]
Vintage-lover Erin Sutherland found an old-beat up British double decker bus on Craigslist. When she went to look at the 1965 Bristol Lodekka on a used car lot in Springfield, Oregon, it was love at first sight and she bought it then and there. She followed her purchase up with a margarita and several months of [...]
Kitschy design is being reproduced so much these days you can’t really tell if something is actually retro anymore. But what about the original retro homes that didn’t change with the fashion and stayed exactly the same since the day they were built when kitschy living was the future? MessyNessy did some digging on Retro [...]
