Default C7 Art Car

From a fund raiser at the Museum Of Contemporary Art Detroit, this car was painted by 3 GM employees. Definitely one of a kind.

It's interesting to look at but I wouldn't want to drive it around every day.

Default C7 transformed into contemporary art piece



As crazy at it seems considering the heat I've given some custom C7s, I really, really like this one. In addition to the fact it was used to raise money for the Museum of Contemporary Art in Detroit, I think it’s a pretty cool-looking C7.

Read the rest on the Corvette Forum homepage. >>

Don't care much for the C7's looks and this just made it that much worse..... I wouldn't be caught dead driving that thing.

But that's just my 2 cents.

Love the Art.....Car not so much. A little too Transformer/attention getting for my tastes. Kudos to GM for breaking out and doing something radical though.

Looks like something a 5 year old could do in an hour with a few rattle cans... Hopefully it looks better in person.

What a waste

Take a great looking C7 and turn it ugly as hell.
