1997 Art Car Weekend
The 1997 Orange Show Art Car Weekend was the biggest and best ever!

More than 100,000 people turned out to see over 200 amazing cars from all across the country. Millions more read about it the next day on the front page of the Sunday New York Times!!

The Circus Ridiculous from San Francisco brought their Veg-o-matic water canon and flame thrower. Onlookers were soaked by day and terrorized by night.
"Faith," created by David Best and commissioned by the Ineri Foundation, captured first place in every category. The Da Vinci of art cars paints another masterpiece!
1997 will always be remembered as the year that Charles Hunt (The Grape), Philo Northrup (Truck N' Flux), and the West Coast Caravan brought the first znid to Houston.
More Coming!

Art Cars in Cyberspace has already collected more than 300 photos from this year's festivities, more are on the way, and then there's all that videotape...

Come back soon to see lots more of the most amazing parade on the Planet Earth!!

In the meantime, ya gotta cruise over to Godfrey Daniel's special corner of Dryer Systems (a very hip e-zine from a media.mit.edu server).

Godfrey is an HTML animal, Wagnerian photographer, and most entertaining story-teller who just posted more than 40 pages of photos and eye witness accounts of his 1997 Art Car Weekend experience from conception of the art car (Whip It) in Tempe, AZ through his journey to Houston with the West Coast Caravan, to his roaring success in the parade.

Naturally, Wagner conducts much of the story, and you can even catch a peek at another znid in these chronicles. Don't Miss This!!!
