Rolling Art

Sunshine has finally reached the Seattle area. My wife and I were out for an evening cruise and came across this show and shine. Thank goodness for cell phones, because I didn't have my camera.

I believe this rolling piece of artwork is a customized 38 Graham Sharknose. There were so many people flocked around this car, that it was hard to get a good angle for taking pictures.

    Great find, Phil. I 've never seen one quite like it. Well done.

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Thanks, now that I've seen it, I'll be packing my camera when I head out for the next show and shine.

    Beautiful car

    I assume he has hydraulics to raise the car... ;)

    I've never seen one; has this body been customized also?

    Thanks. I assume he has hydraulics also. Didn't get a chance to chat with the owner.

    Taz, from what research I've done, rear fender skirts were originally available, but I haven't seen any other images with front fender skirts. These front skirts may be custom made.

    This was also the beginning of the aero era in car design, Phil, hence the shape.
