Description: Founded in 1959 in Lodi, California, Teresi Trucking got its start with a single truck and a determination to build a successful transportation business one load at a time. What began as a one-man operation gradually grew into a respected family-run trucking company, expanding its fleet and developing a reputation for dependable service, experienced drivers, and well-maintained equipment. Specializing in flatbed transportation and oversize speciality hauling, Teresi provided overnight truckload and less-than-truckload service throughout California, along with expedited interstate trucking throughout all 48 states. The company remained committed to the same straightforward principles that helped get it rolling until closing up shop in 2026.

Description: Mahatma Gandhi (1869–1948) was an Indian political leader, social reformer, and champion of nonviolent resistance whose philosophy helped inspire India's struggle for independence from British rule. Through peaceful protest, civil disobedience, and an unwavering commitment to truth and justice, Gandhi demonstrated that extraordinary change could be achieved without resorting to violence. The words “In a gentle way, you can shake the world,” widely attributed to him by way of a 1913 speech, albeit a modern interpretation, perfectly capture the spirit of his philosophy. Gandhi believed that true strength came not from intimidation or force, but from courage, compassion, and the determination to stand against injustice.

Description: During the 1970s, when daredevil stunt shows were all the rage, few spectacles could match the fiery excitement of a motorcycle soaring through the infamous “Flaming Ring of Death.” Popularized by the era’s larger-than-life stunt riders, the stunt involved launching a motorcycle off a ramp and through a towering hoop engulfed in flames, hopefully emerging on the other side with eyebrows intact. Inspired by the death-defying exploits of nationally known riders, motorcycle stuntmen everywhere began incorporating flaming hoops into performances at county fairs, racetracks, and traveling thrill shows across America. The stunt was as much about showmanship as it was about riding skill, roaring engines, and blazing fire!

Description: By the late 1960s, “day tripping” on LSD had become something of a counterculture pastime, as young people looking to expand their consciousness traded the confines of everyday life for a few hours of psychedelic adventure. Whether wandering through city parks, exploring the countryside, hanging out at the beach, or simply watching the clouds roll by, day trippers experienced an altered world of vivid colors, shifting patterns, distorted perceptions, and heightened sensations. Fueled by the music, art, and free-spirited attitudes of the era, these daytime excursions became part of the larger psychedelic movement, where the ordinary could suddenly seem extraordinary and even a simple afternoon stroll could turn into a mind-bending odyssey.

Description: Otie Smith got his start in drag racing back in 1953, tearing down the strip at the Akron Airport drags in his '32 roadster. Within just a few years, his talent for building and tuning high-performance engines had earned him a reputation throughout the local hot rod and drag racing scenes, leading to the founding of Otie’s Automotive. While Otie continued to spend plenty of time behind the wheel of his own dragsters, he was just as busy in the shop, building custom engines, fine-tuning race cars, and developing some truly unique speed equipment. This design includes a full-color illustration of what is likely Otie's most famous dragster - his 1964 AA/A Dragmaster 23T!

Description: For a century, anyone looking for a gay time in Ohio would be pointed to Chippewa Lake Park. A beloved amusement park located along the shores of Chippewa Lake in Medina County, Ohio, Chippewa Lake Park entertained generations of visitors from 1878 to 1978. Originally established as a lakeside picnic and recreation area, the park grew into one of northeastern Ohio’s favorite summertime destinations, featuring wooden roller coasters, a Ferris wheel, a carousel, Tumble Bug, a swimming beach, boat rides, and a lively midway. Its famous ballroom hosted legendary big bands and entertainers, making the park as popular with adults as it was with children, living up to the nickname “Ohio’s Family Playground.”

Description: Winsome Witch was a cartoon series that debuted on October 2, 1965, as part of The Atom Ant/Secret Squirrel Show. The series followed the misadventures of Winsome “Winnie” W. Witch, a good-hearted but somewhat bumbling witch who traveled the world on her flying broomstick, using her magical powers to help those in need, usually with hilariously unpredictable results. Winnie was a self-described “fairy godmother dropout” whose trademark incantation, “Ippity-Pippity-Pow!” often unleashed more trouble than she bargained for. Unlike the sinister witches of traditional fairy tales, Winnie was friendly, cheerful, and always eager to lend a hand. The series ran for 26 episodes between 1965 and 1967 in the golden age of Saturday morning cartoons.

Description: Picking up where the original left off, 1970s Beneath the Planet of the Apes follows astronaut Brent, who crash-lands on a mysterious future Earth while searching for the missing astronaut, Taylor. Brent soon finds himself caught between a society of intelligent apes and a bizarre underground civilization of telepathic, radiation-scarred human mutants living beneath the ruins of NYC. These mutants worship a nuclear missile, setting the stage for a disturbing confrontation. Religious fanaticism and Cold War paranoia take the franchise into considerably darker territory, and a shocking, apocalyptic ending remains one of the bleakest conclusions in science fiction cinema, leaving audiences wondering how the series could possibly continue.

Description: Did you vacation in California in 1979? Were you born in '79? Are you a 79-year-old California native? Or perhaps just a seagull with a serious case of California dreamin'? Whatever your story, this retro design has you covered! Inspired by a vintage 1979 t-shirt iron-on, it features a classic California beach scene complete with rolling waves, a groovy sunset, and a few seagulls soaring overhead. It's a sun-soaked throwback to a time when the surf was up, the vibes were good, and summer seemed to last forever. Take a trip back to the summer of '79!

Description: The Scottish Rite is a branch of Freemasonry that traces its origins to the 18th century and is known for its elaborate rituals, philosophical teachings, and distinctive system of 33 degrees. Building upon the foundations of traditional Freemasonry, the Scottish Rite explores themes of morality, personal growth, justice, and the pursuit of knowledge through allegorical ceremonies steeped in symbolism and history. Despite its name, the organization developed largely in France and later flourished in the United States, where the Supreme Council of the Southern Jurisdiction was established in Charleston. This particular design is from a banner or apron design as described in The Book of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite from 1885.

Description: Jarts—or lawn darts—came from that magical era when apparently nobody had heard of product liability yet. The concept was beautifully simple: take a giant weighted dart with a metal point, throw it high into the air, and hope it stabbed the ground inside a plastic ring instead of your little sister. Somehow, this was considered wholesome family entertainment and not at all risky. The game was invented in the early 1950s by dentist Lawrence Barnett in his barn in upstate New York. Because, naturally, the guy who spent his days fixing people’s teeth decided what America really needed was a set of airborne backyard projectiles. Commercial production began in 1954, and Jarts quickly became a hit.

Description: Christ on Parade’s debut Sounds of Nature was a fierce blast of charged Bay Area hardcore unleashed on an unsuspecting public in 1985. Recorded at Peter Miller Studios in San Francisco, the album captured the band’s mix of breakneck thrash, abrasive twin-guitar attack, and the darker influence of anarcho-punk and British political hardcore. Songs such as “Drop Out,” “No Truth,” “Landlord,” “Don’t Draft Me,” and “America the Myth” paired raw speed with lyrics aimed at war, authority, conformity, and Reagan-era politics. Contemporary punk press praised the record for its piercing guitar sound and relentless intensity, and Sounds of Nature helped establish Christ on Parade as one of the more distinctive '80s hardcore acts.

Description: Kero-Sun was one of the best-known names in America’s portable kerosene-heater boom of the late 1970s and early ’80s. The company was founded in Kent, Connecticut, by former airline pilot William “Bill” Litwin, who became convinced that compact Japanese kerosene heaters could offer Americans a cheaper way to heat individual rooms during the energy crisis. After striking a deal with a Japanese manufacturer, Kero-Sun began importing and marketing the heaters in the US, with sales climbing from just a few thousand units in the mid-1970s to hundreds of thousands by the early ’80s. By 1981, Kero-Sun was doing roughly $100 million in annual business. Rising competition, falling fuel prices, and growing safety concerns brought an end to Kero-Sun.

Description: Founded in Chehalis, Washington, in 1942, Del’s Logging built its reputation by going where other outfits wouldn’t. Specializing in the harvest of big timber from steep, remote, and hard-to-reach country, the company relied on rugged crews, heavy cable equipment, and no small amount of nerve to pull massive Douglas fir, cedar, and hemlock out of the forests of southwest Washington. From muddy mountain grades to deep ravines and isolated timber stands, Del’s became known for tackling difficult jobs that demanded both skill and ingenuity. For decades, its trucks and equipment were a familiar sight around Lewis County, carrying some of the region’s biggest logs down out of the hills and on toward the mills.

Description: In early-1960s Germany, Löwenbräu Münchner Hell represented the bright, clean lager style that had come to dominate Munich drinking culture after the war. By 1960–61, pale Helles accounted for about 89 percent of Löwenbräu’s beer sales, compared with only 11 percent for traditional Dunkles, and bottled beer had overtaken draught in the brewery’s sales mix. Golden, bottom-fermented, gently malty and only moderately bitter, Münchner Hell was the everyday beer of Munich beer halls, neighborhood taverns and gardens—the sort of beer ordered simply as ein Bier. Löwenbräu itself was enjoying renewed strength during Germany’s postwar boom, rebuilding its domestic business while expanding aggressively; by 1963 it had become Germany’s leading beer.

Description: Released in 1993, Doom became one of the most influential video games ever made and helped define the modern first-person shooter. Players take the role of a lone space marine battling through a demon-infested research facility on Mars and eventually into Hell itself, armed with an increasingly destructive arsenal of shotguns, plasma weapons, and the legendary BFG 9000. Its fast movement, maze-like levels, heavy-metal atmosphere, networked multiplayer, and groundbreaking 3D-style engine made it a technical and cultural phenomenon. Just as important was its shareware distribution model, which helped Doom spread rapidly across PCs and college networks, turning it into a landmark title whose influence can still be felt in gaming today.

Description: Established in 1956 by Pancho Huerta, Pancho’s Bar is a fictional watering hole in Rosamond, California, set within a larger connected superhero universe. Its location near Edwards AFB in the Mojave Desert makes it a popular off-duty hangout for fighter pilots, who stop in to shoot pool, drink beer, and unwind. Among its regulars were Carol Danvers and Maria Rambeau. In 1995, after being stripped of her memories and manipulated into serving the Kree, Danvers crash-landed on Earth while pursuing a Skrull. The chase eventually led her to Pancho’s Bar. For filming, the bar’s exterior was represented by The Zebra, a bikini bar in Rosamond, while the interior scenes were shot at Tinhorn Flats Saloon in Burbank.

Description: By the late 1970s and early ’80s, fast-food chains had discovered that Halloween was the perfect excuse to turn a simple meal into an event. Restaurants rolled out spooky kids’ meals, collectible cups, masks, treat bags, stickers, t-shirts, iron-ons, coupons, and character-themed packaging designed to lure in families during October. The big chains leaned heavily into colorful ghosts, witches, pumpkins, monsters, and cartoon mascots, often tying the promotions to costume contests or trick-or-treat giveaways. For kids, the appeal was as much about the premium as the food, and many of those plastic pails, cups, and paper decorations became nostalgic keepsakes that helped establish the seasonal fast-food promotions that are still common today.

Description: The Mamas & the Papas were one of the defining folk-rock groups of the 1960s, blending the harmonies of the folk revival with the polished pop sound of California’s emerging counterculture. Formed in 1965, the quartet of John Phillips, Michelle Phillips, Denny Doherty, and Cass Elliot broke through with “California Dreamin’,” followed by hits including “Monday, Monday,” “I Saw Her Again,” and “Dedicated to the One I Love.” Their intricate vocal harmonies, memorable songwriting, and distinctly West Coast image made them synonymous with the mid-’60s era, while their complicated personal relationships created as much drama as their music. Although their original run lasted only a few years, the group left an enduring mark on 1960s music.

Description: Founded in 1959 in Millinocket, Maine, Katahdin Flying Service has spent decades carrying passengers, supplies, sportsmen, and adventurers into the remote heart of the Maine North Woods. Based on the shores of Lake Millinocket beneath the imposing presence of Mount Katahdin, the company built its reputation flying rugged floatplanes into wilderness lakes and backcountry camps inaccessible by road. From fishing and hunting trips to sightseeing flights and supply runs, Katahdin Flying Service became a familiar sight over the forests and waterways of northern Maine, keeping alive a tradition of bush flying where the lake is the runway and the next destination might be miles from the nearest paved road.

Description: Pig ’N Pancake has been an Oregon Coast institution since May 1961, when the first tiny restaurant opened in Seaside. The original restaurant only seated 35 customers and closed each afternoon at 2 p.m., but its homemade pancakes and casual family atmosphere proved popular enough to fuel expansion along the Oregon Coast, opening in Astoria in 1967 and later adding locations in Cannon Beach, Lincoln City, and Newport. Known for its original specialty pancake recipes, including buttermilk, Swedish, sourdough, and French batter varieties, Pig ’N Pancake grew to become one of the coast’s most recognizable restaurants.

Description: Emerson, Lake & Palmer’s The Atlantic Years was released in July 1992, just as the legendary progressive-rock trio was mounting a major comeback. The two-CD, roughly two-and-a-half-hour retrospective collected highlights from ELP’s classic catalog, including “Lucky Man,” “Tarkus,” “Karn Evil 9,” “Fanfare for the Common Man,” and selections from "Pictures at an Exhibition." Its arrival coincided with the band’s reunion and the release of their first studio album in 14 years, Black Moon, making The Atlantic Years a timely introduction to ELP’s classic material for a new generation. With Keith, Greg, and Carl back together, ELP returned to the road for an extensive world tour running from July 1992 into April 1993.

Description: B.A. Baracus, played by Mr. T on the classic 1980s television series The A-Team, was the team’s muscle and mechanical genius, instantly recognizable by his mohawk, gold jewelry, and tough-as-nails attitude. Despite his imposing presence and considerable strength, B.A. was fiercely loyal to his friends and had a surprisingly soft spot for children. He was also famous for his short temper, particularly when dealing with Murdock’s antics, and had absolutely no patience for fools. That attitude was perfectly summed up by the memorable phrase associated with the character: “I got no time for the jibba-jabba!” B.A. might have complained his way through a mission, but when the team needed him, he could always be counted on to get the job done.

Description: Bia Hà Nội is one of Vietnam’s best-known beers and a longtime symbol of the capital’s vibrant drinking culture. Its history can be traced to Hanoi’s Hommel Brewery, established in 1890 during the French colonial era. Today, the beer is closely tied to the city’s bustling street-food scene. Light, crisp, and mildly malty with subtle floral notes, it’s especially refreshing in Vietnam’s hot, humid climate. This fresh beer is brewed quickly and delivered in kegs to restaurants, bars, and street-side vendors by motorbike. Commonly enjoyed with grilled meats, seafood, noodles, and other local dishes, Bia Hà Nội remains a familiar sight throughout northern Vietnam and an enduring part of everyday life in the capital.

Description: Hum is an American alternative rock band formed in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, in 1989, known for blending crushing guitars with dreamy melodies, spacey atmospheres, and introspective lyrics. After building an underground following, Hum broke through with 1995’s You’d Prefer an Astronaut, followed by the heavier, atmospheric Downward Is Heavenward in 1998. The band broke up in 2000 but reunited for select shows, including Furnace Fest in Birmingham, Alabama, in 2003. This design recreates the cool Japanese tokusatsu-inspired Hum graphic that was available exclusively at that show.

Description: The Monteverdi Safari was a luxurious Swiss-built 4x4 introduced by Peter Monteverdi in 1976, combining serious off-road hardware with the comfort and exclusivity of a high-end European automobile. Based on the rugged International Harvester Scout II platform, the Safari received an Italian-made coachbuilt body and was offered with the Scout's range of powerful American V8 engines. With its upright, purposeful styling, luxurious interior, capable four-wheel drive, and considerable price tag, the Safari anticipated the modern luxury SUV decades before the category became common. Produced in relatively small numbers until the early 1980s, it remains one of Monteverdi’s most unusual creations — a blend of Swiss, Italian, and American input.

Description: There isn’t a whole lot of surfing going on down on the farm, and I’ve never heard of a cow catching waves, but if they did, they’d probably be pretty good at it. Sure, they might need an extra-thick layer of surf wax, but four hooves ought to make for one seriously stable stance. And if a cow got really good—hanging ten, carving waves, and ruling the lineup—it might just earn the nickname “Big Cowhuna.” Sounds ridiculous, but then again, we’re talking about surfing cows here.

Description: The John E. Amos Power Plant is a large coal-fired generating station located along the Kanawha River near Winfield, West Virginia. Named for West Virginia businessman and politician John E. Amos, the plant began operating in 1971 and consists of three generating units with a combined capacity of roughly 2,900 megawatts, making it one of the largest power plants in the Appalachian region. Operated by Appalachian Power, a subsidiary of American Electric Power, the sprawling facility is especially recognizable for its massive natural-draft cooling towers, towering smokestacks, coal-handling equipment, and riverfront location, where coal has historically arrived by both rail and barge. For decades.

Description: Front 242’s Tyranny (For You), released in 1991, found the Belgian electronic pioneers pushing their signature EBM sound into darker, denser, and increasingly more sophisticated territory. Driven by pounding programmed rhythms, distorted samples, icy synthesizers, and commanding vocals, the album delivered club staples such as “Tragedy >For You<,” “Rhythm of Time,” and “Gripped by Fear.” Arriving as industrial and electronic music were breaking into a much wider audience, Tyranny (For You) became one of Front 242’s best-known releases and a defining example of the aggressive, machine-driven sound they had helped develop throughout the 1980s.

Description: Bamboo Productions was a Detroit-area concert promoter active during the early 1970s, part of the independent promotion scene that helped keep the city’s already legendary music culture moving forward into a new decade. Operating in a period when Detroit audiences had no shortage of rock 'n roll shows to choose from, Bamboo worked overtime to create next-level live performances that left attendees in awe and talking about it in the following days. Like many regional promoters of the era, the company operated in a rough-and-ready world of posters, handbills, radio advertising, and word of mouth, connecting touring acts with Detroit’s enthusiastic concert crowds, and it stayed at the top of the game for several decades before calling it quits

Description: By the late 1960s, custom chopper culture was getting increasingly wild, and three-wheeled choppers — or chopper trikes — fit right into the anything-goes spirit of the era. Builders combined stretched motorcycle frames, radically raked forks, tall sissy bars, ape-hanger handlebars, and custom tanks with rear axles often adapted from small automobiles. Typically powered by American V-twins or air-cooled car engines, these homemade machines traded traditional motorcycle handling for outrageous looks and plenty of attitude. Candy paint, metalflake, chrome, extended forks, tufted king-and-queen seats, and fat rear tires turned trikes into rolling expressions of the emerging biker counterculture.

Description: Founded in 1983 in Ozona, Texas, Rick’s Wrecker Service has spent decades helping stranded motorists and truckers across the rugged highways of the Edwards Plateau. Serving highways around Ozona and the surrounding West Texas communities, Rick’s has built its reputation on dependable towing, roadside assistance, accident recovery, and the kind of no-nonsense service that matters when you’re broken down miles from the nearest town. From local ranch roads to long stretches of interstate, Rick’s Wrecker Service has been keeping drivers moving across the greater Edwards Plateau for more than 40 years.

Description: The Distillers’ 2002 album Sing Sing Death House captured the band at their rawest and most explosive, blending snarling punk rock with flashes of hardcore, street punk, and melodic hooks. Led by unmistakably raspy vocals and aggressive guitar work, the record barrels through tracks like “Sick of It All,” “Seneca Falls,” “The Young Crazed Peeling,” and the title track with barely a moment to catch its breath. Angry, battered, catchy, and unapologetically rough around the edges, the album remains a defining snapshot of early-2000s punk just before the band expanded its sound on Coral Fang the following year.

Description: As tensions mounted in Iran ahead of what would become the Iranian Revolution, cabaret owner Sardar Ebrahimi fled the country, leaving behind his successful nightclub on Tehran’s famed Laleh-Zar Street. Arriving in Los Angeles in February 1978, Ebrahimi quickly began laying the groundwork for a new Persian nightclub in the heart of Westwood. He christened the new establishment Elaheh Lounge, opening its doors in March 1979 and welcoming both Iranian expatriates longing for a taste of home and Angelenos eager to experience Persian culture. With a colorful mix of Persian delicacies, Iranian Shiraz, belly dancers, ghalyan waterpipes, and an assortment of flavored tobaccos, Elaheh offered a little slice of pre-revolution Tehran in SoCal.

Description: “If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit” is a humorous bit of advice about getting by when knowledge, talent, or preparation comes up short. The saying suggests that if you can’t impress people with genuine insight, you can always overwhelm them with confident talk, complicated explanations, jargon, and enough nonsense to make it sound like you know what you’re doing. Often associated with salesmen, executives, politicians, and other professional smooth-talkers, the phrase has circulated in various forms for decades, and its exact origin is uncertain. Beneath the joke is a pretty timeless observation: sounding smart and actually knowing what you’re talking about aren’t always the same thing.

Description: Released in 1992, Sleep’s Holy Mountain, is a landmark of stoner and doom metal, capturing the San Jose trio, Sleep, as they transformed the crushing weight of Sabbath into something hypnotic, psychedelic, and distinctly their own. Built around massive, fuzz-drenched guitar riffs, rumbling bass, hazy vocals, and heavy, deliberate drumming, the album rolls along like an endless procession of prehistoric riffs and bong smoke. Tracks such as “Dragonaut,” “The Druid,” “Aquarian,” and the sprawling title track helped establish the blueprint for the ’90s stoner-metal sound, combining metal worship with cosmic imagery, repetition, and an almost trance-like sense of groove from one of the truly defining albums of the genre.
