If this car appears in your city, you will certainly find out about it. If not from the news, then from the admiring reviews of your friends, colleagues and neighbors. And this is not surprising - always and everyone wants to take a look at the van California fantasy vanturned by a california master Ernie Steingold into a real art object, decorating (although, decorating?) its entire surface with copper objects, from small coins to fairly large figurines and signs. The maestro has been working on his outlandish brainchild for 22 years already. He needed about 15 thousand dollars in coins, and more than 5 thousand copper and brass "stuff" - pendants and pendants, toys and cutlery, masks and figurines - to turn the car into a mobile sculpture, a local landmark and the winner of all kinds of contests for the most incredible art -automobile.
But initially it was the most ordinary GMC of 1975, on which Ernie Steingold, for an unusual tuning, decided to weld three elephants from brass. Apparently, the result inspired the owner of the car so much that later he did nothing but add more and more new items to the company to the three elephants. As a result, the weight of the car reached 4.5 tons, and its current owner, Hunter Mann, you often have to change the wheels of your "baby".
Today, the California Fantasy Van is located in the ArtCar World Museum in Arizona, and its cost is estimated at 350 thousand dollars.
