Junkyard Gem: 1995 Ford F-150 Graffiti Truck (Autoblog)
When you know you're the last owner of a vehicle, you can do this.
I've documented quite a few doomed art cars, mostly in the San Francisco Bay Area, as I've prowled junkyards for interesting bits of automotive history. First I captured the Groovalicious Purple Princess of Peace Ford Taurus wagon, and since that time I've photographed a well-known '69 Mustang, a Toyota LiteAce with hundreds of hours of glue-gun work, two different Corolla wagon art cars, a mozaicized Volvo 740 Turbo wagon, and a Van Gogh-homage Volvo 240 sedan, among others. Today's Junkyard Gem falls into that category: an ordinary 1995 Ford F-150 work truck turned into a mobile graffiti wall.
Since the glass and lights didn't get spray-bombed, we can assume that the artists themselves used this truck to get around; if it had been a hapless abandoned street truck, everything would have been covered in paint. Inside, I found unpaid Bay Area parking tickets and NO PARKING notices, so I think that this truck finally got towed away due to back fines.
