Abandoned Car

A much-abused 1/25 scale 1957 Chrysler. This piece was inspired by the abandoned cars of the artist's childhood. Such cars would be left to rust in fields and subside in the winter mud. Occasionally they were used as impromptu playground equipment, as "clubhouses", for target practice, or for empty beer can storage. A large "boat" like this one could hold a good many cases of empties.

Engine Compartment Closeup - Featuring splatters of "oil", whisky bottles, and the detached steering column. The hood was stolen by miniature vandals.
