A Q U A - M O B I L E
The AQUA MOBILE is the creation of Don Ehlen, a Seattle-based entomologist and educator. The car isa great example of a simple concept art car, basically just a great paint job, although 3-D features have begun to creep in: a fully inflated plastic blowfish atop the radio antenna, a crab creeping out over the rear license plate, and a red plastic lobster at the front.
The AQUA MOBILE has been seen regularly with the Seattle Art Cars since its creation. It was seen in the Greenwood Seafair Parade in 2001, at the 2001 and -02 Blowouts in Seattle (where Don played a key role as Parking Czar), and at the shows at the Snohomish County Art Center in Everett on 9/13/01 and 5/26/02. Don also traveled to Houston, Vancouver, Minneapolis and San Francisco to show the car in the past year.Photos copyright © 2002 by Larry Neilson.
