2,500 rainbow toy cars


Seeing these images of Toy Atlas Rainbow by artist David T. Waller on Colossal this morning made me want to run to the nearest antique store and look for intriguing shades of vintage cars. The rainbow installation features 2,500 old toy cars and showcases some lovely vintage paint hues. They say blue sells and that seems more than true in the toy car world! I am fascinated by the gradient of hues in the close-up shot as well as the small but mighty purple and pink centre. Explain to me again why real cars don’t come in such awesome colours?

*gasp* now I know what to do with all of my micro machines from when I was a kid. This is so intense and awesome!
