Art antique bus

That dude from Telstar Logistics had a wild hair about the Partridge Family’s bus recently, for which we’re grateful. He not only dug up what he could of the history of the Chevrolet used for the bus, but he also seemed to get a snap of the same one we saw back in 2006. He says it’s a replica. We say it’s the David Cassidy reunion tour replica.

Art Cars Trabant P 601 L

Exceptional Trabant whose bodywork has been entirely transformed by hand by the celebrated French artist Yvon Taillandier. One of the 6 Trabants commissioned to commemorate the fall of the Berlin wall.

The vehicle was then sold at a charity auction and subsequently has been stored under optimal conditions and has remained untouched since then. The artist’s work shows now sign of wear of scratches. We haven’t attempted to start the vehicle as its light enough to be pushed and the brakes work properly. A service to return the vehicle to the road could be planned for limited cost but till now no one has seen the need.

The big advantage of the Trabants consists in their plastic bodywork which is completely impervious to corrosion and hard to recycle. While this was a handicap of the millions which ran on the road of the ex-DDR but is a distinct advantage for the six examples which were hand painted by celebrated contemporary artists. The continued stability of the artwork is thus assured which is unfortunately no the case for many "Art cars" whose bodywork is subject to corrosion of is in polyester which can tend to rot

Available in Paris with an important file about the vehicle and the artist Yvon Taillandier.
Certainly an interesting investment given the trend of modern artworks to steadily appreciate (to a greater extent than for collectible automobiles).
