Product Description
This offbeat guide is packed with photographs of unbelievable vehicles—like an auto that actually has a working waterfall. “You’ll smile your way through this book as you look at the vehicles that artists and bona fide eccentrics have created. I think of a book like this as a source of inspiration... [This is] a journey into the core of creativity. Just turn the pages and have a good time.” —Creative Crafter.

Wild Wheels: The Newer Generation August 26, 2008
This is an inspirational book, from the cover shot of Tiptoe Through the Tulips through the painted cars, the assemblage cars, and the more mutated vehicles. Art Cars are a strangely friendly version of Folk Art. Don't they put a smile onto your face when you see one driving past?
The earlier Harrod Blank book, Wild Wheels, ties in with the Wild Wheels movie on art cars, and this one is a continuation of that book with newer art cars and some helpful construction tips for your own art car.
Art Cars: The Cars, the Artists, the Obsession, the Craft April 10, 2008
All that have seen my copy have loved it. Hardly anyone could view this book and not smile. Too bad it's now gone out of print, but there are other wonderful books and a brand new movie by Harrod Blank.
An instant crowd pleaser! May 30, 2007

One of the most joyous picture books ever published. Put a copy on your coffee table at home or your desk at work, then sit back and wait for your visitors to start chortling. It's impossible to look at just one page!
Buy it NOW! March 31, 2004

This book is just a blast -- it is so fun and inspirational. It made me happy that I own a crappy old car, because now I can run out and paint it without worrying about the resale value.
