A Cadillac full of pennies.

Now here is a guy with too much time on his hands
The $383.95 "Paint" Job What a great job he's done. Looks quite professional. I want to know how long it took to glue on 200 lbs of pennies. He's got to be retired. So, if the bank and government DO NOT want your pennies, do check this out... Who said it can't be done? I think what happened here is the man told his wife he needed to paint his car and when he told her how much it would cost, she told him to save his pennies. The $383.00 Paint Job. The 1949 Cadillac is completely covered with 38,295 pennies! They were affixed one by one using Silicone. They added over 200 pounds to the vehicle's weight. The entire project took 6 weeks. The pennies are American, and include an 1817 "Big Cent", two Error Pennies, and four 1943 Steel pennies; (but who's counting?). And, it won't scratch.

Clever but as you said. Way too much time on his hands. I like it though. :thumbup: :thumbup: I don't think I'd run it through a car wash. :roll: :lol: :lol:

Or leave it parked in a ghetto in Detroit (that is an oxymoron, the whole damned city is a ghetto). They would probably strip it in less than 30 minutes. :twisted:

Too much work for the lazy ass gang bangers. They'll steal the tires and rims though. Now if it were silver dollars instead of pennies they might be interested. Nah. They probably couldn't do the math and figure out which was worth more. :roll:
