Trans World Airlines (TWA) Car Coaster
Give the daily drive a touch of airline history with a Trans World Airlines car coaster. TWA's journey stretched from early transcontinental schedules through international expansion and the all-jet era, leaving behind enduring connections to St. Louis, Kansas City, New York, and Los Angeles. This small automotive accent is made for travelers at heart, aviation enthusiasts, and collectors who appreciate the graphic legacy of one of America's most remembered airlines.
Trans World Airlines, or TWA, operated as a United States scheduled trunk carrier from 1930 until its acquisition by American Airlines in 2001. Its history began with the October 1, 1930 merger of Transcontinental Air Transport, Western Air Express, Maddux Air Lines, Standard, and Pittsburgh Aviation Industries Corporation into Transcontinental & Western Air. The original route linked New York City and Los Angeles through St. Louis, Kansas City, and other stops. Renamed Trans World Airlines in 1950, the carrier expanded after World War II to Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. Howard Hughes gained control by 1944 and later relinquished it in 1960. TWA opened the Eero Saarinen-designed Flight Center at JFK Airport in 1962, developed its largest hub at St. Louis Lambert International Airport, and acquired Ozark Air Lines in 1986. After financial restructurings, American Airlines acquired TWA in January 2001. TWA continued as an LLC until July 1, 2003.
