# Faux Vintage Automobile Ads (UPDATE) Justin Van Genderen Makes Posters for Iconic Cars By Jason Soy | Published 2012-01-22 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/justin-van-genderen3 References: [herochan](http://herochan.com/post/16004668379/vintage#post-notes) & [2046design](http://www.2046design.com/gallery_vintatagecarads.html) If any of the three cars from these Justin Van Genderen posters were for sale, I’m sure men would be clamoring to get their hands on one of them. After all, who doesn’t want the [DeLorean](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightup-delorean-popcorn) from Back to the Future, K.I.T.T. from Knight Rider or the Pursuit Special from Mad Max? But since these cars are fictional, these wonderful [fake vintage automobile advertisements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-capri) will have to do. Each Justin Van Genderen poster features a side profile of a wicked 1970s and 1980s movie or TV car, beautifully rendered in a singular hue. The lower portion of each faux promo has a description box, which contains a quote from the movie or TV series that each vehicle comes from. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Vintage-inspired Car Posters:** The trend of creating posters for vintage cars from popular movies and TV shows presents an opportunity for artists and designers to showcase their skills and cater to the nostalgia of consumers - **Nostalgia-inspired Marketing:** Brands can capitalize on the trend of using nostalgia to appeal to consumers by creating ad campaigns that evoke feelings of fondness for retro pop culture references - **Fictional Cars in Art:** The popularity of fictional cars in art presents an opportunity for artists to express their creativity and fans to collect unique pieces for their collections ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art:** Artists can capitalize on the trend of creating vintage-inspired car posters to showcase their skills and cater to the nostalgia of consumers - **Marketing:** The trend of using nostalgia in marketing campaigns presents an opportunity for brands to create ads that tap into consumers' love of retro pop culture - **Entertainment:** The popularity of fictional cars in art and design presents an opportunity for studios to license their popular properties for use in merchandise and art products ## Related on Trend Hunter - [80s-Inspired Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delorean-e.md) - [Retro-Futuristic Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delorean-cyberpunk-concept.md) - [Retro Cinema Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightup-delorean-popcorn.md) - [Retro Off-Road Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delorean-concept.md) - [Modern Electrified Retro Automobiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/two8esl.md) - [Sci-Fi-Themed Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volkswagen-2.md) - [Futuristic Supercar Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/custom-vehicle-designs.md) - [Vintage Car Tribute](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-moc.md) - ['60s-Era Throwback Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alan-mann.md)
