Americana

There are eras that never quite come to an end. They linger in the lacquer of a Chevrolet, in the neon glow above a Coca-Cola sign, and in the notion that the future—if nothing else—would at least be sleek and shining.
In this themed auction, Thelin & Johansson invite you on a journey through what has come to be known as Americana: objects that carry traces of a United States where optimism ran high, advertising even higher, and everyday items were designed with the same natural ease as dreams.
Here, enamel signs, tin, neon and chrome come together with expressions that have become iconic far beyond their original context. It is Coca-Cola and Chevrolet, Caltex and rock ’n’ roll—but also the things that simply happened to exist within the same moment in time. Because every era is, after all, more than its headlines.
Whether you are searching for the final piece for your “man cave,” an interior detail that truly carries meaning, or simply wish to own a fragment of American highway history, you will find it here.
Auctions come and go—Route 66 endures.
