The Houston Art Car Parade started in April 1988, with 40 cars and a crowd of about 2,000. The parade now consists of over 250 cars from all over the country (and Canada), and is estimated to have been seen by 250,000 people!
Even though I moved to Houston in 87, this is the first year that I've made it out to see the parade. I had a blast and plan to watch it each year from now on.
Some of my favorites:
Bunny Slippers
The Crapper Car
Peep Mobile (yep, Peeps! Check out detail on the full size image)
Dragon
Blues Brothers Tribute
Ping Pong Balls - looks better in motion as they're all mounted on springy things and move around.
Wiener Dog - the feet were attached to the wheels so they looked like it was walking down the road
Peacock - tail feathers up
Peacock - tail feathers down
