Best Automotive Furniture
By David
aka Highspeedhijinks
I’ve been living in my renters’ paradse for some time now and thought that it was time to ditch the hand-me-downs and the yard-sale treasures and find some decor that says "I love cars" but that still has some class to it. While it’s cool to have a race tire and a piece of glass as your coffee table, it’s not exactly sophisticated.
I deperately need a new bed and while searching I stumbled on the perfect one. Over at Jake’s Chop Shop I found one made from a 1959 Mercury nose with a flame headboard—that’s got me written all over it! With the bedroom looking sharp, next up was to see what I could find for the living room, and it didn’t take me long to find these awesome little end tables made from classic steering wheels and hubcaps. They’re definitely a little classier than tire furniture and they have an almost martini-glass look to them. And what better to go between those tables than the ‘59 Cadillac tail-fin couch from the Route 66 Store—sharp-looking and sharp to the touch. All that’s left is to find friends who can lift a 600lb couch. Any takers ?

they remind me of those elephant foot wastebaskets that the colonists used to make. take something rare and beautiful and destroy it to make something trifling and sad.

You know what, I think they are fantastic. I have only ever seen the couch versions of this done, but this has taken it to a whole new level. What petrol head wouldn’t want to sleep in a bed that is like this!

No reason in hell to drop money like that on any of this stuff.

I’d like to think you know this shit is cheesy as hell and only looks half acceptable in a diner.

Yeow, what a waste of good sheetmetal and parts. Old cars should be driven and worked on, not turned into overpriced consumer nick-nacks. Hope this doesn’t catch on, since these cars are already getting destroyed and scrapped by the boatload as it is. Fortunately I think the completely retarded prices on the finished items will keep too many people from buyin.
