Review   Midwest Book Review - November 1, 2009

Expression is not bound by rules and ignoring these rules is a way of life for some. Road Show: Art Cars and the Museum of the Streets is a unique book discussing cars and how they have become a medium of artistic expression all their own. Discussing the history of the automobile and its evolution, authors Eric Dregni and Ruthann Godollei provide much in the way of intriguing thoughts and show many examples of people using their vehicle to say their message. Road Show is a must for those who have a shared appreciation for the automobile and modern art.

Review By: Ivy Bearstup,   Bloomsbury Review, Nov/Dec 2009 - December 1, 2009

Although mostly contemporary, evidence of the love affair between art and vehicles clearly shows it is not a new phenomenon...The wealth of eccentric concepts makes it difficult to be overly impressed by a single design. What can you say about the Bad Hare Bayou Bunny, a giant furry rabbit that engulfs the vehicle it rides upon, a 1990 VW embraced by a dancing elephant, or the Percolating Coffee Psycho scooter? Thanks to a deeper commitment to the concept, however, the authors provide us with much more than a brief exclamation as we encounter the extreme examples here. Readers are exposed to history, concepts, philosophies, genres, cultural influences, and technological evolution in a well-researched and -written narrative...It's a grand adventure, and from the latest evidence, still speeding along.
