| From the back cover: | Have you ever seen a truck with 1,480 spoons riveted onto it, a car with a working waterfall, or a motorcycle that resembles a hamburger? Well-known author, filmmaker, and art car visionary Harrod Blank takes you on a tour of more than 100 fantastic vehicles that have been turned into genuine works of art as intriguing as they are striking. Are they symbols of personal freedom, rebellious inventions, or fantasies made into reality? Pore over more than 300 lavish photographs, as you learn the fascinating stories of the artists behind the designs. | ||
