DRUNKEN CAR ART, SOMEWHERE, USA, 1960 by Charles Phoenix

A dizzying display of amateurish paintings lean on a low-line '56 Plymouth with a big canned ham trailer in tow. The car is a big stick of butter with fins on wheels. The trailer has been deliciously half-dipped in Velveeta. The paintings are destined for a thrift shop. And how about that fringed red and black licorice-striped canvas awning giving shade to that minty-fresh, "Long, Long Trailer."
