Continental Airlines Car Magnet
Show a little Continental Airlines pride wherever the road leads. This car magnet draws on a legacy that ran from Varney Speed Lines' 1934 beginnings to Continental Air Lines' Golden Tail and globe-logo eras, before the United integration in 2012. It is made for aviation fans, former employees, frequent flyers, and collectors who connect the name with Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, Newark, Cleveland, and the broad sweep of classic commercial aviation.
Continental Airlines began in 1934 as Varney Speed Lines, operating airmail and passenger service from El Paso through New Mexico to Pueblo, Colorado. Robert F. Six became general manager on July 5, 1936, and the carrier was renamed Continental Air Lines on July 8, 1937. Its headquarters moved to Denver that October, later shifting to Los Angeles in 1963 and Houston in 1983. Continental merged with Pioneer Air Lines in 1955, adding cities in Texas and New Mexico. It expanded from regional roots into a trunk carrier, introducing Boeing 707 service in 1959 and later operating aircraft including the DC-9, 727, 747 and DC-10. Texas International Airlines merged operations with Continental in 1982 while retaining the Continental identity. Further mergers brought People Express, Frontier, New York Air and commuter carriers into Continental in 1987. Continental and United announced their merger in 2010; the United name, Continental operating certificate and globe livery were retained. Integration was completed March 3, 2012.
