Back when
we were EphemeraNow:
The Christian Science Monitor,
Oct. 26,
2005: "It's a safe bet that works from the
EphemeraNow [Plan59] school would draw large crowds to a brick-and-mortar institution."
We're name-checked in the New York Times, quoted in a May 4, 2005
article by columnist/ Dynamist
Virginia Postrel on the glamour of wirelessness.
See us quoted in Mark McCourt's article on "Approachable
Automotive Artwork" in the September 2004 issue of Hemmings Motor
News!
"EphemeraNow is a vision of stylish beauty, preserving
advertising and illustration art of mid-century America."
— Shelley Howells
New Zealand Herald
"Why do I have a sudden yearning for a '47 Packard?
Probably because Ephemera Now
features vintage magazine ads for this and other must-have luxury
items of yesteryear, all in sharp, colorful detail. It's bound
to make you feel nostalgic, even if you were only born yesterday."
— A.S. Berman
USA Today
"Fins, chrome, hot wheels: There's much retro-coolness at
EphemeraNow.com."
— Don Campbell
Portland Oregonian
"I love you. I've never told a website that I was in love
with it before. Technically, if you're reading this, you're human,
not a website, and you might be confused with my emotions. Rest
easy. It's the website I'm consumed with love for ... the
pictures. Awesome, beautiful pictures. Wonderful pictures."
— Marc V.
United States
"Dear Sir: We have a requirement of Vinyl Flooring for one
of our Project in Dubai UAE. Also please send us your Master
Catalogue along with Sample of the Products in your range of
Production. Your immediate reply shall be highly appreciated."

BACKSTORY: We started out in 1999 as EphemeraNow.
(Pronounced "Ephema . . . wha?") After a few years our business
manager, who's sharp as a tack, thought it might be good to have a
name that the average person could say and spell (not to mention
understand), so we became Plan59 in January 2006. The rest is
history.
PLEASE NOTE: The images on this site are embedded with an

and market images out of that nifty 1936 Hupmobile brochure you got
at the flea market? Yes, if it was published without a copyright, or
if the copyright has expired. Is it okay to use the images we've
made from the same catalog? Ahem, cough. We own the images we've made
— they represent a considerable investment in equipment, source
materials and labor over the past five years. Every jpeg and gif on
