Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Wearing his passion for this movable art on his sleeve, Blank elaborates on the odd and celebratory beauty of the art car in this sequel to his 1993 Wild Wheels. These highly individual vehicles have been modified by everything from paint (as with Emily Duffy's mod Mondrian Mobile) to corks (as with Jan Elfman's relatively subtle Cork Car) to fiberglassed papier-mƒch‚ (as with Julian Stock's striking, sculptural Skull Truck). Blank, whose second art car, the Camera Van, records the reactions of people in the street, offers color photographs of each car and its owner next to short profiles that get at the creative, quirky, and sometimes egomaniacal impulses at work. He also includes a section on bikes and motorcycles and a short how-to section and resources in the back. Over 100 creations are pictured throughout. Blank has been instrumental in promoting the concept of the art car as a legitimate folk art form, and these images could convince even the most stoic skeptics to give it a go with their own wheels. Highly recommended for academic folk art collections and for all public libraries. Rebecca Miller, "Library Journal"

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.
