We've written about Scott Wade's Dirty Car Art before, but I couldn't resist his latest piece at the Luminaria Arts Night in San Antonio, Texas. The festival takes place annually in the Alamo Plaza, and Wade dressed up the occasion by designing a Ford Flex.
The dirty car art piece features a mariachi band, the Alamo and a back window that declares, “Texas is Ford Country.â€
