High Motor Mugs
Description: Founded as Charles Auto Supply in 1934, Charles would go on to open a dozen locations throughout the greater Washington Metro area, subsequently changing their name to Charles Auto Supply Stores. The retailer’s initial offerings were basic repair parts and supplies, but by the time the boys began coming home from WWII and began hot rodding their cars, the Charles stores began adding speed parts and go fast goodies. Streamline was Charles' house brand for several products, including their 'Hi-Speed Motor Oil.' By the late ’70s, dedicated speed shops and national auto parts supply stores were putting the squeeze on Charles Auto Supply Stores, and they struggled throughout the ’80s before closing up shop some time in the ’90s.
Description: The Bunnell Motor Company was founded in the '30s in Bunnell, Florida as an engine repair and rebuild shop. W. H. Atkinson II purchased the business in 1943, keeping things business as usual for a while, but his interest in stock car racing saw Bunnell Motor Company begin offering some high performance engines as a way to be a part of the stock car racing scene. By the early '50s, his son W. H. Atkinson III was getting into racing, and of course, it was one of dad's engines that powered his race car. By the late '50s, Bunnell Motor Company was focused almost entirely on stock car and drag racing engines, and after his dad died in 1962, Atkinson III had Bunnell Motor Company exclusively building high performance engines.
Description: Detroit machinery pushed past the red line. Motor City High Energy Unit channels MC5 through roaring amplifiers, industrial pistons, overloaded speakers, crossed guitars, and the combustible live energy of late-sixties Motor City rock. Built like a battered underground gig poster pulled from a factory wall, the artwork combines garage grit, proto-punk rebellion, and Detroit industrial imagery for listeners who like their rock loud, raw, and permanently stuck at critical volume.
Description: Forged in steel. Fueled by speed. This Detroit tribute channels the raw power and legacy of America’s automotive capital into a matchbook-style design built for gearheads and factory-floor dreamers. With a bold piston icon and high-contrast layout, Motor City Speed Shop celebrates the muscle, machinery, and soul of the city that put the world on wheels.
Description: A retro-style graphic featuring a light blue stock car with the number "11" on the side, set against checkered flags. Text above reads "BUNNELL MOTOR CO." and text below reads "HIGH PERFORMANCE RACING ENGINES" and "Bunnell, Florida". The car has various sponsor decals on the fender.
Description: Vibrate with the soul of the machine. This high-contrast design merges liquid typography with a raw glitch aesthetic, capturing the defiant spirit of the garage. Featuring the signature "I'm Classic / You're Old!" statement, based on I'm Not Old I'm Classic, it’s a modern tribute to timeless iron. Part of the "You're Old! I'm Classic" series—built for those who know that true style is a distortion of the ordinary.
