Wheeler Tapestries
Description: This design was inspired by the 2016 Netflix blockbuster series, Stranger Things. To anyone who hasn't heard or seen the show and is a fan of the 80s, you will not be disappointed. The series is a love letter to movies such as: THE GOONIES, POLTERGEIST, JAWS, ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND, E.T., and many more. It's set in the early 80's so that magical, innocent vibe is lived out through the tweenagers, clothing, set pieces and fantastic synth and pop hits of the era.
Description: In Big Trouble in Little China, Jack Burton is the owner/operator of Jack Burton Trucking. His truck is named Pork-Chop Express, as he primarily hauls pigs to the slaughterhouse. It's an '85 Freightliner FLC-120 with the iconic 'mudflap girl' on the front grill, along with the words 'Haulin' Ass.'
Description: Smokey and the Bandit is a 1977 American action comedy film that follows Bo "Bandit" Darville and Cledus "Snowman" Snow, two bootleggers attempting to illegally transport 400 cases of beer from Texarkana to Atlanta. While the Snowman drives the truck carrying the beer, the Bandit drives a 1977 Trans Am to distract law enforcement (called blocking) and keep the attention off the Snowman. During their run, they are pursued by Texas county sheriff Buford T. Justice. Smokey and the Bandit was the second-highest-grossing domestic film of 1977 in the United States.
Description: As the Earth crosses the tail of a comet, previously inanimate machines suddenly spring to life. Chaos sets in as machines of all kinds begin attacking humans. At the Dixie Boy Truck Stop in Wilmington, North Carolina, a small group of people hold up inside and do their best to plan their survival as the rabid machines swarm outside. This is the gist of 1986's horror comedy, Maximum Overdrive, which was set in and around the Dixie Boy Truck Stop and based on King's 1973 short story, Trucks.
Description: Do you remember the 80s? Do you remember three-wheelers? Remember pushing that thumb throttle for the first time and downshifting to pop a poor man's wheelie? Remember 2-stroke exhaust? Remember going over a jump, being in mid-air, and realizing that you're not going to land with all 3 tires on the ground? Remember the challenge of conquering a giant dune in 2nd gear, full throttle, shaking the whole way up until the gas cap came loose and spilled non-ethanol gasoline on your crotch?. Remember good times? Yeah, me too.
