Car giveaways have been around for decades, but in 1976, a unique cross-promotional sweepstakes took things to the next level when three American companies teamed up to create one of the wildest custom vans of the era. Dubbed the "Denimachine," this heavily customized Ford Econoline combined elements from all three sponsors into a one-of-a-kind showpiece. From its outrageous flame-painted exterior to its wall-to-wall denim-covered interior, the Denimachine captured the imagination of van enthusiasts across North America. Consumers mailed in bottle cap liners by the thousands for a chance to win one. In total, ten Denimachines were awarded in the United States and fifteen in Canada between 1976 and 1977. While nearly identical, the U.S. and Canadian versions featured a few subtle differences, including single versus dual sunroofs and roof spoilers versus scoops.
Like all our designs, this one is treated with our signature ‘relic-ing’ process which includes our own secret recipe of hand-painted chipping, cracking, fading, and just the right touch of yellowing to ensure that it looks the part of a true vintage imprint.** We lay these works of art down on premium Bella+Canvas 3001 Unisex Jersey Short Sleeve Tees, one of the softest, best-wearing t-shirts available today, via state of the art direct to garment (DTG) printing which allows us to create a vintage effect that simply can’t be accomplished with other printing methods. In short, these shirts are everything you’ve dreamed of and more – it feels soft and lightweight with just the right amount of stretch, making it comfortable and flattering for both men and women.

Not sure what size is your best fit? We recommend taking one of your current t-shirts, laying it flat and measuring it. The measurements in the chart below are taken with the shirt laying on a flat surface. To get the length, measure from the high shoulder point down to the bottom of the shirt. To get the width, measure approximately 1-inch below the armhole, across the chest, from seam to seam. While our tees are all made using premium, pre-shrunk, ring-spun cotton, there can be some shrinkage depending on your personal wash and dry cycles. With that said, if you’re on the fence, we always suggest going up a size.
