The most prominent feature is the cow skill mounted on the hood. When art cars go out to pasture.

You should have 'sic-ed' them, for a moment I was thinking that drezdn made a horrible mistake.

it takes more skill than you'd think to mount a prominent cow on the hood. moo.

"As you can see, on top of the Bug is a railing. A hatch has been cut into the top of it so someone can ride in the top and hold on! I'm guessing that this, and most likely all three of these vehicles were probably conceived for use in some some parade."

Parade? Burning Man. Cacophony? The Cacophony Society. (Which probably explains the Santa-fetish car.)

That railing is there to keep drunken weirdos from falling off and becoming (slow speed) roadkill. Drunken Santa roadkill makes Baby C'thulhu cry hungry!

Hey I know that thing. I took a picture of it.

Long live Black Rock Turd Guardians!

scarabic wins (big time). Whoever would have suspected it was the Black Rock Turd Guardians, way over in Goldfield NV so far from their ancestral hunting grounds?

p.s. I certainly admire a vehicle with bowling trophies lined up along the hood.

This is the sort of thing that makes me truly believe in the creative power of insanity...

Awesome find. Thanks for the update, scarabic, although it does lower the intrigue somewhat vs. just some random cars in the desert.

Nothing is random.
