"Cars 2" movie from Pixar/Disney had a lot of small details of conversion to automotive looking architecture

they call it Big Bentley in the movie

They were right smart to label it Holden

Leave Spring under the above bridge, and replacing the cables in the London Bridge below

through out the movie you'll see statues of cars instead of people

I totally dig the wire wheel in the Eiffel tower, could be based on Kelsey Hayes, but who knows

the side of the Notre Dame looks like an exhaust header

A valve cover topping the Arc De Triumphe

a piston for an elevator

A Boyce Motormeter in the above building

the light shade looks like an type of engine

I didn't see all of these the first time or the second time I watched the movie... but I saw a lot of them, and found the rest when looking for them specifically for this post

Best video and interview of Randy Grubb (Blastolene Brother) artist / maker of the Deco Liner

this is a 15 minute video, and I can't wait to see if the Pulse Jet bellytanker gets to El Mirage. What am I talking about? The interview happened when a pulse jet expert was at Randy's, and they seem to have collaborated on a bellytanker with a pulse jet the power equivalent of the V1 rocket
