# Wrecked Cars as Street Art Grecian Guerrilla Beautification By Happy Hotelier | Published 2008-09-26 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/street-art-how-to-sustainably-preserve-your-car-wreck-as-a-guerrilla-market References: [happyhotelier](http://www.happyhotelier.com/2008/09/26/street-art-08-the-kos-bush-cars/) 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](http://www.trendhunter.com/Cowbag/) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### 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. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dynamic Artful Car Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bmw-m-hybrid-v8.md) - [Artistically Rendered One-Of-A-Kind Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/romero-britto.md) - [Fashion Collaborative Toy Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mschfs-hot-wheels.md) - [Dynamic Car-Themed Structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veiled-porsche.md) - [Decayed Car Playsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-wheels-x-daniel-arsham.md) - [Bespoke Car Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Tattoo-Inspired-Land-Rover.md) - [Cabin-Transformed Vintage Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1970-volkswagen-beetle.md) - [Retro-Inspired Japanese Automakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renocas.md) - [Electric Mini Camper Vans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2cv.md)
