Oldest Vintage Art Car on Record from 1929

This 1922 Dodge camper conversion art car was created by June and Farrar Burn and an autobiography was about in June Burn's book "Living High". more...

quote from Living High.

"June and Farrar lived full and interesting lives free of materialistic indignities. June wrote, 'The secret of living on so small an income is to not want anything.' Farrar said he was happiest when he was broke and out of work. It gave him complete financial security. They put much trust in life and didn't waste a minute of it." - Skye Burn, Waldron Island, 1992.


This spectacular photo of the Ballad Bungalow and the Burn family was taken sometime in early 1929 on G Street in Washington, D.C. Farrar's handywork is seen here with the mini-cabin and smokestack atop their Dodge Brothers automobile.

Dino Ride Art Car aka Psychedelic Relic

I got this Dino Ride Art Car sent in by Carl Lasagna today and here is what he had to say about it:

Beautiful friendships and a whimsical, hemp inspired imagination inspired the transformation of a salvaged 61 Ford Galaxie into the DinoRide (aka the Psychedelic Relic) in 1993...Created by Carl Lasagna, this "Senseless Act of Beauty" radiates such good Car Kharma it turns frowns upside down wherever it goes. After 100,000 miles of touring California and Oregon, the response has proven that Peace, Love, Justice, and Environmental issues (Especially when mixed with a little psychedelia) NEVER go out of style. WAR IS UNHEALTHY TO BABIES, PUPPY DOGS AND OTHER LIVING THINGS...is painted on the trunk

I have owned the car for 21 years now...and it still runs and graces the Bay Bridge quite regularly :)

This is the classiest duct tape art car I have seen complete with the model wearing a duct tape mini skirt and some duct tape trim on her tank top. This photo says "I accessorize with duct tape and I love it"

Hideous Fat Art Cars - Safest Car on Earth

Pink Fat Art Car Central
Pink Fat Art Car - Pepto Bismol


Austrian artist Erwin Wurm is the creator of these Fat Art Cars, as part of a "Fat Car" series. Definitely one way of looking at gas guzzlers and I guarantee you, we would drive a lot less if our cars actually looked as hideous as these. On the other hand very safe and good for beginner drivers.

Hummer H3 Art Car - Made from Lottery Tickets

Brooklyn-based artists Adam Eckstrom and Lauren Was collected $35,000 in lottery tickets and built a Hummer H3 Art Car. The piece is called “Ghost of a Dream,” because they realized that most people think of buying a car when they dream about winning the lottery - hence the name of the project. They also made it so the value of the art car came out to about what a real Hummer H3 would cost. Just don't park it out in the rain.

The Pelosi 2012 Sports Car- Made by Congressional Motors

When the government final takes over every aspect of our lives they will also get into the car making business. And of course we know that the government is so efficient in everything that they do and produce, what does the government actually produce now? Anyways, this video is a commercial for Congressional Motors and the new Pelosi Car that will be coming out in 2012. This car will take 100 billion dollars to make and it will take the entire congress to design it. The Peloci Car will have an MSRP of only $629,999.95 (that's inflation dollars) but it will help save the planet in a big way. I am so excited about this and you will be too after you see this fantastic video.

This Red Double Decker Car is ideal for those wanting to relieve their trip to London last summer. You can drive through town and relive the sound of trees hitting the upper deck every day of your life. You can pick up as many hitchhikers as you want and on your lunch break you can go upstairs and just hang out.

Car with a Park Bench Spoiler - Budget Mod

The only thing this guy got right about his Car with a Park Bench Spoiler is the shape. Everything else about this is wrong in every way if you are particular about the performance of your car. With this Park Bench Spoiler you are more likely to get their eventually, in a leasurly fashion doing 0-60 whenever. Or maybe he just wanted to have the ability to pull over any time, enjoy the view and smell the roses. Or watch the sunset, or feed the ducks, or take a nap, the list goes on.
