“It’s fun, it’s not just any car show. There’s always something new and unusual to see” notes Amber Boorman of Vancouver B.C., driver of “Machisma”. A black 1970 Oldsmobile augmented with two-foot tall fins and 3-D flamed paint job.

“Art cars are accessible to everyone, it’s public art available on the road and not in private galleries,” local artist Kelly Lyles explains. “Both kids and adults get a kick out of them.”

Google has been busy taking photos along roads in various cities around the country. Basically they just drive along every road, in a vehicle with a panoramic camera mounted on the roof. You can see these photos in Google Maps, using the “Street View” feature.

Alas, my art car wasn’t parked out front when they drove past my house here in Dallas. If I’d only known they were coming!

But up in Portland, this art car fleet was on display: Reverend Charles’ house, w/ OUR LADY OF ETERNAL COMBUSTION, JESUS CHRYSLER, THE DANGER CAR, etc.
(Under the little photo of a house, click “Street View”, and then rotate the view around. You probably need high-speed Internet access for it to work well.)
