reCARstruction Art Car Ball

via

I found this reCARstruction Art Car Ball sculpture created by artist Keny Marshall from the disassembled parts of a 1983 Jeep Grand Wagoneer for the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh. Its probably not street legal any more and seating could be very uncomfortable with the part all moved around a bit. The video also shows how it was this art car was reCARstructed.

40 Art Cars on Poles and the famous Spindle

by neopsychedelia

Today I found 40 Art Cars on Poles and other miscellaneous objects, an exhaustive list but I am sure I missed a few. Most of the photos came from flickr, so forgive me for not putting a credit on them all, there way way too many. On of the most famous art car sculptures is called "Spindle" By Dustin Shuler formerly located at Cermak Plaza Berwyn Illinois IL April 2008. This beauty made an appearance in the 1992 film "Wayne's World," with an opening night I will never forget. It consisted of a 50 foot spike with eight cars impaled on it and was taken down on May 2, 2008 to make way for a Walgreens store... complete story here

Pink Toe Truck gets Pedicure every 5,000 miles

Pink Toe Truck

The Toe Truck, finally an art car that came along to put the nightmares to rest. When people say "toe truck" its hard for some of us NOT to think of a giant pink toe, on wheels doing repo jobs on the weekends. Question is, do the toe nails need to be trimmed? Are pedicures done every 5,000 miles or so? and does it ever get caught in a toe jam during rush hour traffic?

The Photo Boof art car is a mobile photobooth built by Wrybread onto the back of an Cushman parking patrol auto rickshaw. The Photo Boof has been to all kinds of events and is even available to rent and it will be appearing at this years Art Car Fest so come by and get your photo taken with your BFF. In the video Justin Credible is the spokesperson for Photo Boof giving us the story behind this really cool art. I got about nine days until Art Car Fest 09 starts and I need to get my Mercedes Pens art car ready and feature as many attending art cars on ACC as possible.

Battle Wagon Art Car - Another one for the Apocalypse

Haz-Mat Hatch Art Car

Battle Wagon and Haz-Mat Hatch is another couple of those futuristic apocalypse mad-max art cars created by Todd up in there in Washington State. They might look ugly but they got it were it counts, two high-octane hi-carb Subaru wagons that hall out in a hurry when the mutants come chasing the day after. Todd said "this is the extent of my mid life crises" and "everyday is a parade in this car". Nice work Todd.

Ginormous Cork Truck Big Hit at Barcelona Wedding

Photo by Emily
This ginormous antique Cork Truck photo was taken by Emily during her Barcelona visit last October where she attended Felipe and Silva's Wedding. Probably too much information but I do wish the young couple my best. Anyways Emilys trip was well worth it here at ACC because she brought back with her a little bit of art car history. Thanks Emily.
