There was a cute little car, a '58 BMW Isetta, which was powered by a BMW motorcycle motor. This fantasy car was painted red, green, and purple. Its front end opened to the side for entering the car. A car that looked like a blue dolphin (Dave the dolphin) was originally a Volkswagen Bug. Harry Leverette, Kenny Smith, and Tom Kennedy spent around two years to make this artistic car. No one could guess that this yellow car was once an '86 Firebird. Lynn and Bill Ludlam and Mike and Paul Hewlett used 7,837 tennis balls and 1,000 glue sticks to make this car. It took them 86 hours to finish it. The car has over 950 tennis balls on the hood alone.  It's hard to believe it, but one car was covered with postage stamps. 70,000 stamps were stuck on a '78 Datsun station wagon owned by the La Porte Jr. High School Art Club.
