WhaleMobile For Sale - Going Slow

Ever thought of driving your very own WhaleMobile? Well now is your chance and for the very low low price of $150 this blubbering beauty can be yours today. The WhaleMobile is listed For Sale on Craigslist located in Cape Girardeau and the contact number is 573-334-4363.

It was built on the frame of a 1986 Yugo Cabrio with 38k Miles by the owners grandfather after it the body was badly damaged in a freak hailstorm. Grandpa got this crazy idea in his head to turn this thing into a whale car. How weird, you wake up one day and decide to make an art car, you start building, people think you are strange and your whole life makes a turn for the interesting.

Anyways, the WhaleMobile has new tires, working headlights, a lever inside the cockpit controls the whale tail and a working blow hole that shoots water. Perfect for parades and kids parties, not street legal yet but I am sure its sea worthy.

Life Size Lego Car

Now this is what I am talking about, not just a Mini car covered in Legos, but a Mini car that has become a life size Lego wonder. I am predicting this Lego art car will become an Internet sensation in about a week. Will the owner of this Lego art car step forward and be congratulated for a job well done:) This car was seen at Dapitan St., Sampaloc Manila.

World's Smallest Car - Postman Pat by Perry Watkins

Perry Watkins took the frame of the "Postman Pat" children's ride in the UK and mounted it on a quad mini-bike, using its 150cc engine. The car has a windshield wiper, lights and signals, mirrors, fire paint job, fake racing exhaust pipes and engine blower. It can hit a top speed of 40 MPH, it is now legal to drive on the road and has received confirmation that his creation - only 39in high and 26in wide - is the smallest car ever built. Also world's most expensive chiropractor bill.

Penguin Martini Shaker Car For Sale

This 1985 Mercury Grand Marqui penguin car is for sale for only 1000 bucks, only if you really really really want it now on craigslist. Its claim to fame, a single penguin martini shaker as a hood ornament, and a stuffed one in the back window. I think its time to cut back on the martinis for a while, I don't know, I am just saying.

Wierd Art Car Tombstones - Car for the afterlife

I don't know how I got on this but since art cars are important I figured they might be in the afterlife as well. So these tombstone art cars were made for those wanting to ride in style on the other side. Some people never quit.

Here are a few for just about everyone.

Classy Stretch Mercedes Tombstone for important people, my favorite.


Harley Tombstone, for the long ride home.


NASCAR Tombstone, get there faster in circles.


Art Tombstone for the creative types.

Yellow Sub Art Car - Dive, Dive, Dive!!!!!

This Yellow Sub Art Car was sent in by Josh Brown from Seattle Ca. Unfortunately it does not go under water but it does have working radar, a marine radio and a working periscope. Good for scoping out traffic jams up over the guy in front you during rush hour.

Hideous Fat Art Cars - Safest Car on Earth

Pink Fat Art Car - Pepto Bismol

Austrian artist Erwin Wurm is the creator of these Fat Art Cars, as part of a "Fat Car" series. Definitely one way of looking at gas guzzlers and I guarantee you, we would drive a lot less if our cars actually looked as hideous as these. On the other hand very safe and good for beginner drivers.

Hummer H3 Art Car - Made from Lottery Tickets

Brooklyn-based artists Adam Eckstrom and Lauren Was collected $35,000 in lottery tickets and built a Hummer H3 Art Car. The piece is called “Ghost of a Dream,” because they realized that most people think of buying a car when they dream about winning the lottery - hence the name of the project. They also made it so the value of the art car came out to about what a real Hummer H3 would cost. Just don't park it out in the rain.
