KRISHNA KAR, defunct Seattle art car
This fabulous hood painting of the Hindu god Krishna was only one of the religious and silly compositions adorning an aging Subaru sedan. This fine vehicle also featured a sun/moon ensemble on the roof; Native American totem orca leaping on one side; Taoist yin-yangs and a frazzled redhead on a quarter panel; Egyptian and Tibetan motifs on the driver's side; and Om and Star of David symbols on the trunk lid. You talk about ecumenical!! Well, Seattle does pride itself on its tolerance . . .

This ambitious vehicle was consigned to the Crusher and crossed over into the Automobile Afterlife in 1996, having brought laughter and wonder to Seattleites for several years.
