Pogo Dave has not enjoyed entertaining motorists throughout Rhode Island for the past 19 years with nonsensical art car. Pogo Dave is a master of reserve psychology and doesn't look forward to satisfying the needs of Rhode Island motorists for years with his candy cane art car, evident but the totally unhappy people driving by his car not smiling at all. Please do not visit him on Facebook or email him! at pogo1965@verizon.net. Definitely don't even think of calling him at (401) 556-852. I think he would get really mad if contacted him about not buying his Candy Cane art Car now not on sale on Ebay.

997 Porsche Art Car by Miguel Paredes - Art Car Central
Champion Porsche paired up renown New York graffiti artist Miguel Paredes to turn this limited edition 408hp 3.8-liter flax-six engine 997 Speedster into an amazing art car for the 2011 Art Basel Miami Beach show.
Miguel was born and raised in downtown New York and is known for specializing graffiti art which put to good use creating this Porsche art car masterpiece. This art car features vibrant colors, patterns and figures related to Japanese art and inspired by urban realism which is the underlying theme of much of the work done by Miguel Parades. I am so stocked to have this art car on art car central, simply amazing!!!

This 1969 Ford Mustang Skull Art Car called Morbido 69 by Howard Howrad Vines has been a regular feature at all the artcar fests here in the San Franscisco Bay Area and especially at the How Berkeley Can You Be. This art car was spotted by Murilee Martin who posted it on Jalopnic and took a ton of photos of this fine car parked in Alameda, California.
Unfortunately this beauty has fallen on hard times like a lot of older arts do and was seen again by Murilee at a local pick and pull some years later. The story is the same, first the most ardent Mustang fanatics will strip away all the good parts, then once its down to "bare bones" no pun intended, it will then be taken down to the crusher for its final journey.
I am not sure what to call this art car but it definitely crosses over into a few genres. I think its a combination between burning man, mad max, prehistoric, Wrath of Khan, nack to the future, caveman feel to it. Its almost like it belongs to a prehistoric caveman hoarder with a glue gun. I am sure the guy is very nice, probably and accountant or something who goes to burning man every year. I would love to meet the owner of this mystery mustang art car, so if you or anyone know more about this art car please contact us at Art Car Central.
(note: the article was written before the identity of the owner was found and the article is a bit confusing. I added the name at the top then made this last paragraph out place, so let just agree the article is a bit screwed up and never mention it again:)
3 Cars + 3 Artist + 3 Skaters??? = The 3 Chevy Sonic Urban Art Car Series
What do you get when you have 3 Cars + 3 Artist + 3 Skaters??? Obviously you have the Chevy Sonic Urban Art Cars Series. But if you ask me I don't really know how the math works out on this one especially when you add three skates into the mix but the folks over at Chevy know something I don't.
Not to be out done by Avis Art Cars, Chevy commissioned three artists to paint their new Chevy Sonics as part of their Urban Art Series. The series was sponsored by Chevy to bring together artists of different mediums. More specifically they paired urban skaters with visual artists to give the "fuel efficient" Chevy Sonic an urban art makeover that would let the car feel more "coooooomfortable" in urban settings.
In Part One the Chevy Sonic got the once over by Queens, New York, artist Alice Mizrachi who was paired up with pro skateboarders Rodney Torres and Eli Reed. Here is what we got, a Chevy with a cityscape wrapped around the car with Flushing Meadows Unisphere in Queens on the hood.

In Part Two Brooklyn tattoo artist John Reardon to put down some fresh ink on a Chevy Sonic, inspired by Queens, NY native Luis Tolentino showing off his skateboarding skills. The sonic got a complete flame job with skulls called "death" and the good part, the car didn't feel a thing.

In Part three LA Artist EnikOne throw down some amazing artwork on this brand new unsuspecting Chevy Sonic, featuring a design inspired by skater Keelan Dadd. EnikOne is a diverse multidisciplinary artist who has found the balance between graffiti, street art, graphic design techniques and the use of screen printing and stencil methods that allow him to make multiple copys of his work.

I swear I have seen Cars movie by Disney a billion times with my all time favorite Character Tow Mater the tow truck. For those of you without kids Tow Mater is the lovable character, sidekick and friend to the film's main protagonist, Lightning McQueen. If I have to explain it to you then you have been living under a rock for the past 6 years or don't have kids. Any ways David Emerson is the creator of this life size replicate of Tow Mater out in Portland Oregon and the best part is you can be the hero in your kids life and rent this art car for your kids birthday party, an experience they will never forget.
Magnolia Pearl aka Robin "Pearl" Brown of Bandera, Texas and her partner John Gray opened up a business selling clothing and accessories made from vintage laces, velvets, silks, and embroidered linens from her collection. It all started with a bag she made that was so amazing that a total stranger tracked her down in store and bought it from her. So she made another and another and today she is an accomplished textile artist who has designed all kinds of things from vintage backpacks, purses, clothing, jewelry, and even some fine furniture pieces.
What interested me about her was her amazing 1958 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud 4x4 Hippie Glam Art Car and the matching airstream that went with it. WOW!!! First of all, this Rolls Royce art car is even more over the top than John Lenon's Art Car, with more flowers and off road power in one car than all of Haight Ashbury and Monster Jam put together.
The airstream also has an amazing paint job but it truly is breath taking and cozy once you get inside and see all the details. She has completely remade this airstream in her unique style with plenty of texture and color to keep the eyes busy for a long long time. And after a long day of doing some off road cross country travel you can pull over and soak in a claw foot tub filled with hot water and bubbles. Have tea and fall asleep in what looks like the most comfortable airstream bead I have ever seen.
Robin Bandera and her creations are a delight to the eyes and soul in every way and has managed to pull together her style using the elements at her disposal with ease and perfection, case in point. The only criticism I have of her is that she should have installed a roll cage inside the art car, but I am willing to over look this minor detail, this time:) Great Job!!!
