I was thinking it looked like the pattern on the wall was radiating out of the top of the car, but it works either way.
Surprising to see a presumably valuable Benz painted up this way.
That just made me think of the Porsche that Janis Joplin once owned, being a valuable car with a similarly psychedelic paint job. Although in that case the distinctive paint job applied by a famous former owner just makes the car even more valuable. http://money.cnn.com/2015/12/10/luxury/janis-joplin-porsche-auction/index.html
Valuable is subjective in this case. Come to Iowa, these old basketcase Benzs are a dime a dozen. My friend’s dad bought a complete and pretty clean 6.9 for $1. Yes, one US dollar.
“Heh-Heh, There are, like, all these colors and stuff!”
“Huh-huh, yeah. Huh-huh. . .What are those things on the doors? Huh-huh.”
“Um, they look like mouths, heh-heh, or something, heh-heh.”
“I think I see, like, bananas, huh-huh. Look! Stewart’s dad’s car just pulled in his driveway, huh-huh-huh…Hey Beavis, huh-huh, where’d you put all that spray paint, huh-huh-huh!”
I snapped this today. Not sure if it was an art car or a curbside vinyl wrap in process. But the barely visible (in this photo) spot of orange on the windshield is a tow-away notice so apparently it’s been curbside for a while. Edit: after looking more closely at the photo, I see orange overspray, plus silver overspray on the tires, so not vinyl. Definitely art though.
Cool!
It’s been a while since we’ve seen a CC art car. I like the colors on this one and the location couldn’t be more appropriate. 🙂
uuuuuhhhhh no….just no………..really no!!!
The owner overlooked the hubcaps. Most Benzes of this era had matching hubcaps.
hehehe
I LOVE it!
Jackson Pollock has nothing on this, but maybe that`s the idea.
Wow. The photo is nicely lined up, with the wall pattern driving your eye to the car. Exciting. AGuyinVancouver did a fine job.
Surprising to see a presumably valuable Benz painted up this way. Maybe it got keyed…

I dig this.
That’s cheaper than canvas.
There’s been one behind the CFA shed in town for a few years now. Presumably the SES guys are going to use it for jaws-of-life practice.

I suspect that’s a Plastidip spray job. It’s easy to peel off the windows.
Ah, Janis Joplin’s 356!
Janis with her 356.
