Eric Lamb's - Land Yacht For Sale

I just got an email from Donna Lamb, informing me that her brother Eric passed away in early July from a massive stroke. He was the owner and creator of the Land Yacht Art Car. This car is for sale to anyone interested in owning and showing this wonderful Art Car. Eric we will miss your creativity and passion for Art Cars.

Below are some details about the current condition of this very unique
art car that has been neglected for a few years. With a little rust
patching, new body paint and finish on woodwork, it could pretty easily
be returned to its original glory. All accessories – such as flags,
anchor and masts – seen in its photos are still in the car.

Engine Condition:
Fires and runs well
Transmission engages

Engine Needs:
Tune up
Timing set/adjustment
Perhaps new alternator
Some of the wiring was hand made by owner
(I plan to buy a new battery and put on two new/used tires)

Body Condition:
No dents/damage
Rust holes on driver's door
Paint: hand/brush painted
Woodwork is solid but could use new finish
Windshield cracked and needs to be replaced
Wooden "forward deck" needs to be reattached
Interior is average for a car this age (1976)

If you’re interested, please email Donna Lamb or call her at (212) 645-2468 to make an offer. If you know someone else who might want to buy the car, she also would be grateful if you would pass this information on to them.

General Carbuncle Art Car

One of my favorite shows growing up in Athens Greece was the Dukes of Hazzard. Well the General Lee has resurfaced after all these years in a new skin. The base car is a Ford Capri covered in toy cars. The final effect is the amazing art car called General Carbuncle.

Mondrian Mobile by Emily Duffy

The Mondrian Mobile was created by artist Emily Duffy inspired by 30's artist Piet Mondrian. I first saw this car in Harrod Blank's book Art Cars and met it in person at my first Art Car event in 2005. This car is now retired and residing at its new home at Art Car World in Arizona.
