Mustang made from 5,000 beer cans

Tuesday, July 31, 2007

Like all good students Jack Kirby collected his beers cans.

Unlike most good students the art and design student actually found a use for them.

When he realised Budweiser was giving away his dream car, a 1965 Ford Mustang, he set about making the car out of 5,000 beer cans.

Wow... interesting choice of beer cans.

If they were full, it still wouldn't be worth much.



I respect the ingenuity and time spent on it...

Beer cans? Just another way of repackaging the car.
Go look at a new Mustang for real, examine the quality of the sheet metal and trim, and, outside of the durable drivetrain and live rear axle, you won't notice much difference....it might as well BE beer cans.

I was mesmorized, at first, by the new Mustang's looks (so much like the Mustangs I grew up with 40 years ago) that I considered buying one...until I went and formally checked out the car for myself.


Still, an interesting work of art, and IMO the guy deserves something for it.....maybe the local Ford dealer will give him a nice sum to use it in their showroom.

It will probably hold up better than the current Mustang.

And it has a guarenteed trade in value of $250. Not to bad for a Ford.
