Honda Element Gets Extreme Makeover!!!

"Daisy Singer" ... by Philo Northrup


Philo Northrup is responsible for giving his Honda Element named Daisy Singer an extreme makeover and in his own words this is what he had to say:

"Daisy Singer is so named because of two objects attached to it. I started to artify this brand new 2004 Honda Element in Marcola, Oregon, with my mentor, Jack DeVore. He had an old SINGER sewing machine treadle and an old DAISY stove door. The names on these iron relics just seemed to fit for some strange reason. Later I found out that Daisy Singer, sewing machine heiress, left her fortune to whoever found her will in a bottle. She tossed this bottle into London's Thames River in 1937, and it washed ashore in San Francisco in 1949 to be found by a very lucky beachcomber named, of course, Jack. So Daisy Singer it is!!!

My ambitions with this ArtCar are formal, not thematic, focusing on design & texture. I am creating something antique and curvilinear out of a new shoebox. I am indulging my love of oxidation - the patina of decay. Daisy is an earthy ArtCar, which fits in nicely with the fiery Truck in Flux, and the aquatic Buick of Unconditional Love. Like the Buick of Unconditional Love and the Truck in Flux, this ArtCar features a living garden on the roof.
Daisy has already traveled extensively from Canada to Arizona and I plan to take it on ArtCar tours to schools & hospitals around North America." via

I agree, kill it with fire.

That has got to be the most awesome thing i have ever seen!!!!

My Aunt painted her 1982 Toyota Tercel blue with HUGE colorful poppy flowers all over it.
It was great. Too bad the poor thing finally gave up the ghost. I would have taken it but it did not have AC. It is too hot here for that kind of nonsense.

I love ART Cars!\

There are "art cars" and then there are "WTF cars".

Too much time and too little taste....

Somebody needs to get him on here.

And I thought my roof rack/ load warrior was hurting my gas mileage.

That thing must only get 10 mpg. And he looks happy about it.

that art car was built years ago. its become quite aged since then

And yet somehow the wheels are not touched.
The flag makes it really stand out amongst regular art cars.

It seems as though others don't like it, but I actually think it's quite fitting. There's a lot things you can do with an element.

At least he doesn't have to worry about it being stolen.

I like it. I think its creative. If I had the extra funds ide make one and take it to shows.

but I wouldnt daily it hehe

when I was 18 I DD a 69 VW dunebuggy bright yellow. OMG the attention I got. I couldn't go anywhere low key and be alone lol

i think that's the car that GWAR drives

if i was him i'd just roll into dealers and ask how much i can get for a trade in

The last time saw something decorated like this I was in Karachi, Pakistan back in 1979. :-D
