The ’90s, and a whiff of Y2K, have been roaring back onto fashion runways — and soon the fanciest garages, too.has assembled 11 rare and custom vintage automobiles, each with a cool back story and provenance. They go under the hammer Wednesday for one week of online bidding.
Dubbed “Joyride,” the sale is being curated in partnership with Morton Street Partners, billed as a “curatorial space” in New York City’s West Village. It was founded by collectible car mavens Jake Auerbach and Benjamin Tarlow, who treat cars as objects of art and design, not simply transportation. “Historic pieces from the past, with their enduring craftsmanship and quality, are proving to have more value than current contemporary fashion and collectibles,” she said, adding that the ’80s and ’90s “and their defining characteristics have continued to dominate trends across all categories.”
