Wordless Wednesday…Creativity and Cars!
A few years ago, Larry and I saw a car that was all “decked out.” There were trolls and every other tchotchke imaginable on it. The owner planned on entering it in the annual Houston Art Car Parade.
Last week, we saw another fun car at Kickerillo! I’ll bet it’s headed for the…
38th Annual Houston Art Car Parade and Festival!
April 10-13, 2025
The parade is on April 12 at 2 PM
Allen Parkway & Downtown Houston
Creativity takes courage.

Good morning, Kathy... how fun is this. I'd love to attend an event like that, but I sure would never do anything like that to my own car! :)

Same here Nina Hollander, Broker I have a "in awe" appreciation for these cars but wouldn't want to drive around in one.
Hello Kathy - such shows of automobile affection are certainly on display often in the Southern California neighborhoods I have traveled. When I was younger, I would be able to identify different makes/models of vehicles seen, not so much these days.

Michael Jacobs Larry laughs because when we lived in Delray Beach, I'd often mistake a Lamborghini for a Mustang or some other non-luxury car.
Good morning Kathy. Some people are very creative and talented to display some of their thinking. Enjoy the event. I would go if I lived closer.

Hi Wayne Martin We may try to go. It depends upon the weather and traffic.
That would be an interesting event to attend! That car even has eyelashes!

I know! Kat Palmiotti There was a museum here for the art cars but it closed a few years ago.
Kathy, Such incredible imagination will be on full display at this celebration on wheels. I'm sure there will be plenty of photos taken!

Lawrence "Larry" & Sheila Agranoff. Cell: 631-805-4400 don't you love the eyelashes!!! I saw them on an old VW Bug and it was so cute.
Good morning Kathy,
How fun!! I love the creativity and bet this would be a very fun event to attend! A Festival and Parade!

Dorie Dillard Austin TX if this were in Delray Beach, it would be easy to attend
Hi Kathy,
That would be a very interesting event to attend. Some people put a lot of time and money into their cars. I had to look up how to pronounce the word "tchotchke" . (Chaach-kee)

HI Carol Williams that's funny. That may be an old word...or a word for older people.
I would rather pour gas on my head and light a match, than drive in that vehicle...lol

LOL Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty I wouldn't go that far but no..I would not want to drive around in it.
Thanks, Kathy, for sharing your photographs. My car could use some special art work!

Roy Kelley you and Chef Dolores would stand out!!!
Hello Kathy and interesting car and thank you for sharing it with us. I still like going to car shows in our area.

Will Hamm I love seeing the classic cars.
Kathy I am kind of lost for words. All I can say is WOW.

George Souto while I wouldn't want this done to any of my cars, I love seeing them.
How fun are these cars Kathy! The car parade and show sounds like a lot of fun. We're seeing a lot of 'older classic' cars being driven around town with their tops down - perfect weather for that here in Phoenix!

Anna "Banana" Kruchten When we lived in South Florida it was like one big car show from well kept classics to off the charts luxury cars.
Kathy, those cars are pretty cool, but like Nina, would NEVER do that to my car.

Joan Cox I wouldn't want it done to my car either.
Kathy Streib that sounds like a most unusual car show and one that would be interesting for the way people set up their cars.

Ed Silva, 203-206-0754 every inch of these cars is covered with unusual paint jobs to all sorts of trinkets, paint and other objects.
It's neat to see what people have done with wraps these days and it really shows how creative people are!
Hi Kathy:
While I wouldn't do anything like that to my car they are rather fun to see. That would be an interesting car event to attend.
I spied this VW bus along the coast road in Cardiff years ago.
