Hasta La Ideas

A Dallas-based vintage enthusiast named David (no last name available) runs Remarkably Retro, a Tumblr page loaded up with images of vintage products, advertisements and photographs. And it isn’t just a reblogging operation: In addition to scouring the web, David painstakingly scans old books and magazines, which is why we find images on his site that we’ve never seen elsewhere. Remarkably Retro is the source of that fantastic B.F. Goodrich manufacturing photo from 1939, presumably scanned from a Life Magazine or similar from the time period.

In addition to enjoying the interior design, product design and lifestyle photos from the ’40s, ’50s and ’60s, the car designers among you will have a field day with David’s curation of old car ads.
