Recently I was touring the Greek Isle of Kos on a scooter and came by two shops in a little city outside the city of Kos. They are on opposite sides of the street some 50 yards apart.
First I didn’t spot them, but when looking twice I spotted two ambushed cars. The first is a vintage French Citroen Deux Chevaux 2CV, a car that is near and dear to me--I have owned one and used it for our wedding. The second is a British Triumph Herald.
What a wonderful combination of sustainably correct vintage car wreck preservation and guerrilla street art.
This post is especially devoted to a fellow Trend Hunter who has said that she is “...Unamused by the complexities of coaxing a 40-year-old car through its MOT,” although her car is in far a better state than this one.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Vintage Car Wreck Preservation
- Opportunity for creating sustainable and artistic displays using vintage car wrecks.
- Guerrilla Street Art
- Exploration of unconventional spaces for street art installations, like ambushed cars.
- Citroen Deux Chevaux 2CV Revival
- Reviving interest in the vintage French car model through creative and unique displays.
Sectors Adopting This
- Art and Design
- Artists and designers can incorporate vintage car wrecks into their installations and projects.
- Automotive
- Opportunity for recycling and repurposing vintage car wrecks for artistic and sustainable purposes.
- Tourism and Travel
- Attractions and destinations can incorporate vintage car wreck art installations to enhance visitor experiences.
