    There was a Unimog in Moab at Zuzoo IX with a set of water buffalo horns above the cab that was almost as wide as the vehicle...I say, DO EET MAN.

    My senior year ride, was a dented, beaten, smoking, Lincoln, 4 door convertable. The top was so torn up, there was no sense in putting it up. Down its flat brown sides, in dripping scarlet paint, 12 inches high, was its name...Death Trap. A spinal column ran down the middle, rib cage across the front clip, hip and leg bones at the rear. A roadkill dog skull was the hood ornament. Across the trunk face, in nice neat block letters it said...I KNOW...I KNOW...PULL OVER! Never left the driveway with out getting stopped Or was it just because of the ten kids inside, and the plumes of smoke

    I have to say, that Cape Buffalo mount attached to the front of the car is something else. I actually have a full Cape Buffalo skull and I did think of strapping it up to my roof rack for Moab last May but the thought of my rare, $300 skull getting covered in bug juice is what stopped me.....

    Good stuff though.....

    Billy, where are these photos from?

    Just do a search on "art cars". There are a ton of them out there. Some are more extreme than others. Here in Arizona there are a lot of them. They tend to be found in artsty type towns. Around here there are some in Bisbee, and the headquarters and new muesem for art cars is in Douglas.
