Editorial Reviews:

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.

5 out of 5 stars 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.


5 out of 5 stars 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!

I visited my niece in Seattle, and she KNOWS one of the art car owners, so showed me the book. What fun!!! I am buying it today!

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.

I read Harrod's first book after seeing some art cars at The American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore. After that, the seeds were planted! In a few months I had made my first art car. I finally got to meet Harrod and get a copy of Art Cars when he appeared with several of us exhibiting our creations at Artscape. It was fun to ooh and aah over pictures of many other art car folks in this book who have become good friends of mine in the past few years. Art Cars will inspire you to go out RIGHT NOW and start decorating your vehicle!
