Penny paint job

Post by Executioner »

1949 Cadillac, 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.

Pretty cool. Though I don't think I'd ever put a rare penny on it myself.
