HistoryVintage Car vases started appearing in automobiles around 1895 as practical air fresheners to mask heavy engine exhaust and passenger odors before closed cabins and air conditioning existed. The trend started in late 19th century France and spread to luxury limousines on New York City's Fifth Avenue by 1909 as a fashionable accessory.
By the 1930's, better car ventilation, enclosed bodies, and early cooling systems made the functional flower vase unnecessary, causing he trend to fade.
