1960 Cadillac Fin Attaché Case

Here is what he has to say about his art car work:
"I love wood and metal, but in my heart I'm a car freak.
The Cadillacs of the 1950's are the cars I love the most. I've collected dozens of them over the years, and have incorporated them into furniture and sculpture, hoping to keep them from going to the crusher (perhaps the most evil piece of machinery ever invented). I have made cedar chests, entertainment units, beds, lights, and other pieces of usable furniture out of these once rusting piles of metal. I am, after all, my fathers son."

Steve Heller's shop is in the Catskills Mountains. Here's the story of my art car road trip in the Catskills, including a visit to meet Steve and his car art:

He has a magnificent '59 Cadillac art car, by the way, as well as a wonderful little round car made from classic car parts attached to a riding lawn mower.
