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.

OMG! Space Invaders Car - I'm so excited!!!

For me this Space Invaders Car is a find of a life time. I loved this game way back when all you had was a joystick that was left and right and a fire button. The green glow of the monitor a roll of quarters and free time was all you needed back in the days. Thank you so much for the good memories my friend, may your car last forever.

1960 Cadillac Fin Attaché Case - Reusing 50's Cars

This photo of a 1960 Cadillac Fin Attaché Case was sent in by Kelly and was made by Steve Heller's Fabulous Furniture. On this amazing site you will find a ton more art cars made from classic 50's car parts, wood furniture and other sculpture made from assorted motorcycle parts.

1960 Cadillac Fin Attaché Case


Here is what he has to say about his art car work:

"I love wood and metal, but in my heart I'm a car freak.

The Cadillacs of the 1950's are the cars I love the most. I've collected dozens of them over the years, and have incorporated them into furniture and sculpture, hoping to keep them from going to the crusher (perhaps the most evil piece of machinery ever invented). I have made cedar chests, entertainment units, beds, lights, and other pieces of usable furniture out of these once rusting piles of metal. I am, after all, my fathers son."

Atomic Dog Art Car - George Clinton Mothership Connection

Where have you been all my life Atomic Dog Art Car!!!!

An art car extension to the Mothership Connection, "The Atomic Dog, One Nation Under Groove" pays tribute to musician George Clinton and his funkadelic band, Parliament. Band members and dogs made of mosaic mirror shards mingle with beaded flying saucers, guitars, drums, and lots of chrome pipes while one big mirrored dog guards the roof.

Led by veteran art car artist and teacher, Rebecca Bass, the 2006 Art Class at Waltrip High School created this award winning art car in four short months. Students worked after hours, on weekends, and over spring break to craft this stunning masterpiece.


Stories about this amazing vehicle spread across the country and eventually reached George Clinton. In June of 2006, funkadelics star George Clinton came to Houston to autograph the car. George and his entourage were very impressed with The Atomic Dog and its creators. They all became instant art car fans!

Oldster defaces ride with Buddhist text???

A Taiwanese pensioner covers every inch of his four vehicles with virtuous words from Buddhist texts.
Li Zongxiong, 71, a workshop owner, started to 'tattoo' his car, two trucks and a motorbike nine years ago.
His words virtually cover the vehicles, including the mirrors, windscreens, bodywork, doors, wheels - and even the number plates.
Li admitted his hobby had caused him trouble: "Passers-by thought I was doodling on the cars of others, and police found it hard to believe that someone would cover his own vehicle in writing," he explained.
Li, who has only an elementary school education, said most of the words were taken from Buddhist texts.
"I felt public morality was deteriorating, so I started to write some words of virtue on my vehicles," he told China News Network.
"Each day I write something down. If I spot a place where the writing has worn away, I write it again."
Li?s son, Li Jiasheng, said the family now forbids his father to buy new vehicles, since they know he will write all over them - no matter how much they cost.
But his grandson has promised that when he grows up and makes some money he will buy him a big bus to write on and indulge his hobby.

Mind Bending Spoon Cadillac by Uri Geller

This custom-built 1974 Cadillac which adorns 5,000 pieces of silverware is the creation of Uri Geller, one of the world's most famous spoonbenders. And 1000 of these spoons and forks were given by the children from around the world, and some of the treasured pieces were owned, or used by famous personalities. Some of the pieces on this custom-built 1974 Cadillac were arched by Uri Geller using his "brainpower", while the remaining were artfully shaped by his friend Avi Pines, a famous Israeli sculptor. I cant vouch for the "mind bending" part but the car sure looks really cool.

Thousands of Unsold Parked Cars Look Like Art

First the bad news, due to the down turn in the economy thousands of cars just sit parked in lots across the world. The good news is that thousands of unsold cars look like giant pieces of pixelated art from above. In a weird way kind of way they actually look amazing. Maybe these entire lots of cars can be sold as art and just left there to transform into rust over time. Now that would an amazing time lapse movie to watch.

Short Lived Art Car Lives for a Day - Poor Racer

Via Scoop

This Poor-Racer Art Car sculpture will exist for just 24 hours, - from midnight Saturday 14 March to midnight Sunday 15 March. Thats a longer life span than most flies.

The dramatically customised car is typical of Hirschhorn’s low budget transformations, and Poor-Racer has been developed specifically for Christchurch as part of the New Zealand-wide One Day Sculpture series. Hirschhorn says it references the global enthusiasm for car customisation evident in the lowered, louder, brighter and bolder DIY modifications seen parading city streets.

Fantasy Porsche Art Car by Wendy Johnson

This Fantasy Porsche Art Car was sent in by Wendy Johnson a Designer and Illustrator who happened to find ACC. Welcome to ACC Wendy and we hope that one day your fanatsy art car may one day become a reality.

Wendy's Fantasy Porsche Art Car.

Hi, I found your blog while looking for patterned car reference ... I was working on an illustration for a client. I ended up spending a good part of my afternoon looking at the pictures and links. It was great fun to sit here in my studio and laugh all afternoon, so thanks! I had to forward your link to just about all of my illustrator/designer friends.

I do a little graphic design, sometimes illustration, but mostly surface pattern design for home furnishings. I am attaching part of the illustration I made last week. It is just a fantasy art car. Maybe someday I will find the time to paint my real car.

I just just love your blog, and your car.

Legally Blind 7-Year Old Loves to Draw Art Cars

Corey Graves is an amazing 7-year-old from Sabin Elementary School who just loves to draw art cars. When asked how he gets his ideas he said:

"I've got to get a brainstorm in my head," which then goes "boom!" and is followed by "lightning pops!" and, "then whoop! Here comes a car outta my head."

The most amazing thing about him is that Corey is considered legally blind because of a genetic vision disability. His hand starts moving with deliberate motions. He draws a squarish shape, then moves the pencil up to draw windows, then adds details. He is quiet, still and totally focused on his creation. more via

The Buddha Buggy art car a 1987 Honda CRX HF is brought to you by Photographer, Filmmaker and Graphic Larry Neilson

I love my car because:
it has been solidly dependable over 17 years and 245,000 miles. It's small and maneuverable, great for slipping into tight parking spaces. And of course that gas mileage is a big plus these days. I have decorated the car to show my reverence for Buddha (and irreverence for other things) and have shown it at the San Jose Museum of Art and the Tacoma Art Museum art car shows, among other places.

Redneck Stonehenge Car Fence

Hooper, Utah -- A man in Hooper had a bit of a dispute with a neighbor, and instead of mending fences, he built one. His fence, however, is made out of cars, and he says it's all in a spirit of fun.

Creator Rhett Davis calls it his "Redneck Stonehenge." It's not that he doesn't like his neighbors, he's just not sure they understand him and his kind. Definetely a good way to use up some old cars and they dont take up much room if you stand them up like that. Full Story Via.

Man Invents Toilet-Shaped Car and a Suitcase Car

Suitcase Car from India


A man in India not only invents a motorized suitcase but he decided to go the "extra mile" and come up with a motorized toilet. The motorized suitcase weighs about 660 pounds and with a 50 cc engine can reach speeds of up to 25 mph. The production cost is about $2,000 and his goal is to get these baby's mass produced. Its a good idea and you could actually take them with you on long trips and for sort business trips maybe he could make a carry-on version. Now about the toilet car, I can't imagine what the marketing strategy will be to get the word out. I think calling this a "Crappy Car" is actually is a real plus, but hopefully you wont get a "Crappy Deal" at the dealership when you buy one. In some parts of the world he will have make sure its a lo-flo toilet, and that it complies with strict emission standards. Good luck with that!!!
