Vintage Fashion Collection

The Fountainhead Vintage Fashion Collection will feature more than 75 dresses, coats, hats, shoes and men's suits. All have been selected to complement the eras represented by our antique automobiles. This collection will cover a wide and fascinating variety of clothing styles from the late Victorian, Edwardian, Gibson Girl, Titanic, Flapper/Roaring Twenties, Depression and Early Swing eras. A special exhibit on Motoring Fashion will highlight clothing developed to protect open automobile riders from the elements and road grime.
