Automobilia refers to collectibles and memorabilia related to automobiles and the automotive industry. This category can include a wide range of items that capture the history, art, and culture of automobiles.
Over the decades, automobile manufacturers such as Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Bugatti, Duesenberg, Porsche, Bentley, Rolls Royce etc. have rolled out astounding machines that thrilled and enchanted automobile lovers across the country and world. As technology in this space evolved so did the cars and the engines under their hoods. Old, classic automobiles gave way to swanky, sleek cars built for modern day roads and needs.
But the allure of these classic cars continued to live on and for many, old automobile signs, clocks, toys and other automobile parts strike a cord and bring back memories. But it isn’t just people from earlier generations that are attracted to automobilia. In fact, people of all ages and walks of life find these retro pieces fascinating and worth collecting.
