Stega Car
Welcome to the Stega Car's home page. This is a less intricate Art Car than the Shark Car, but was a hit nonetheless at Halloween and at Boston's First Night. For details on construction, see the Shark Car.
Halloween 2000
The head, fins, and spiked tail were originally built for a Toyota for Halloween. Here's a picture of the first Stega Car:

First Night Boston 2001
Courtesy of the JP Art Car Project, a few Art Car aficionadosgot to be in the Boston First Night festivities. Originally, the Shark Car was to make an appearance, but high winds prevented a safe display of its finery. Here, the Shark Car has dropped its blue fins and traded them in for an orange head, spikes and tail. Christmas lights, hooked up to a 300 W Radio Shack DC to AC power inverter gave the spikes some added illumination. Blackboard chalk was used to decorate the tires.
Here are some photos from that event:
