There are art cars in Minneapolis. In fact, they say art car on them. A couple lives in my friends condo complex and one of the cars is a truck with a topper completely covered in wine corks in a cool pattern. Every year there is an art car parade. My favorite is the one covered in the mini beanie babies that came from kids meals at mc donalds a few years back.

I also live in Houston, and the art car parade was a few weeks ago, they were much more exciting than this.
They had one that had girls with rocket dildos on and a man with a bush mask holding oil and had his hand soaked in blood. They are also the people that came and protested at Halliburton while I was working, but it made it all the better.

Not exactly painted up, but in my town there is a truck (late 90s, early 00s) that is the bubble truck. It’s painted red, yellow, and blue and blows bubbles as it drives along. You can check it out at bubbletruck.com

When I lived in Savannah, GA, there was a Mitsubishi Diamante there that was covered in leopard print cloth. Also, many years ago, I saw a van covered in astroturf. That was interesting…

I’m from Houston, and yes, Houston has an Annual Art Car Parade and some of the cars get kinda crazy. Not only do people paint their cars, but they also add crazy stuff to them, like fur, wings, you name it. I remember seeing one once that was covered in old Coke bottles.

We live in La Antigua Guatemala where an elderly friends of ours had her car stolen. Surprisingly, the police found it parked in another neighborhood and returned it to her. Being an artist, she decided to paint flowers all along the sides of the car, explaining: “no self-respecting car thief will touch it now.” They didn’t either. She passed away at the age of 89, left her beloved car to her gardener who not only cares for the car, he loves her painted flowers too.

One of my favorites was in Denton, TX (a quirky town with a couple of art cars driving about). It was a Grand Am painted in a lovely tartan plaid. The paint job was very professional looking with completely straight lines and good color.
