Inflatable Trans-Am

This a lifesize inflatable Trans-Am created by transmedia installation artist Guy Overfelt. The unusual object will be on display at "oh, Maybe..." an Emeryville, California art exhibition staged in conjunction with the de Young Museum's Warhol Live exhibition. The opening night "Factory Party" is this Friday, March 6, from 6-11pm. Guy Overfelt: Think Context

I am definitely going to that “Factory Party” in Emeryville this Friday. I’ll probably be wearing my white Warhol wig if any other boingers want to say hi.

If he really wanted to make it look even more real, he would have made it without wheels and blocked it up on four inflatable cement blocks…

‘Bad decisions are more likely in a 1977 Trans Am.’

It’s just like the ones that the Allies used to fool the Axis before the great G-Day invasion (in which thousands of Guidos stormed the beaches of Asbury Park).

Also, if you look hard, you can see the inflatable 8-track tapes of Foghat and Journey on the passenger side floor!

Golf clap, but it should be sitting on inflatable cinder blocks instead of wheels. Maybe throw in an inflatable single-wide to park it in front of, while you’re at it…

Inflatable Trans-Am? Not to be confused with the aircar (car that runs on compressed air). -=)
