The 1967 styling itself represents a vintage aesthetic, a nostalgic glimpse into the past of American road travel and an appreciation of classic design.
The black-on-white color scheme, in addition to being authentic to the original design, suggests clarity, directness, and purpose. The design embodies the spirit of exploration and travel, inviting wearers to reflect on a specific time and place within Ohio's rich history.
