Getting creative!

Very imaginative....it looks great!

Exactly as above: very imaginative.

Not that anyone cares what I think... but I'm indifferent about this.

On one hand, as art, this demonstrates many positive aspects that the public & critics alike would, no doubt, find appealing. It's very well done.

On the other hand, despite being nothing more than thoughtfully arranged "toy"  cars (I see nothing to the contrary ) it somehow connotes (to me anyway ) a breach or misuse, kind of like the Cadillac Ranch.

I'm overreacting I suppose but personally I never cared much for "car art."  Make sense? 

John, where did you see this? It is definitely different. It might give someone reading the forum an idea about displaying his collection.

That looks great and really interesting and the young guy is certainly interested ! It sure is a pretty neat way to call attention to model automobiles.

Nearby, there was a large sign at Berwyn's "Cermak Plaza" (a small older local  shopping mall) that was seen in the movie "Blues Brothers" that had several old and compacted automobiles as part of it's sculpture.  

@chris I think that the wall of toy cars would be kind of cool for a kid's room if it wasn't done in an overstated way (less is better).  Regarding the Cadillac Ranch; it has always made me feel kind of sad for some reason and it is not something I would want to visit.  In short I find it to be an eyesore.

I feel for that kid as he's probably wondering when and how is he going to get a chance to play with all these wonderful toy cars....

Seldom wrong and right again Jack, my feelings exactly. 😔 😔

Yep!  Poor little fellow....   🙄 🙄 

@chris  Chris, I was sent an image of the Cadillacs a very long time ago, by a designer and cultural aficionado who admired it greatly. I thought it worked. It was original then and its message of wastage of earth's recourses was new and extraordinary. But as I'm sure you'd agree, cultural expressions become ubiquitous and copied without anything new to say.  Also, as Jack has expressed, I found it heartbreaking given the Cadillacs seemed to have their own life. But perhaps that was part of the work's power?

Remember... " A Cadillac is not a car to scorn.. beep beep, beep beep"

@charles-rockett Right! I know why & how "that Ranch"  was conceived and built, I just don't care for it. There may be millions who do, but I'm not among them.

@chris To be honest, your post is the first I've heard of it becoming a "Ranch" and seeing your photographs with it looking just like a theme park is what prompted my comments on copies and ubiquity.  I believe it began as a line of Cadillacs in the middle of no where. But now, as Jack originally said and I believe you are presently inferring, it is just en eyesore. And I agree.

I remember the sign at Cermak Plaza, although I have not been there in many years.
