Saint Arnold to Roll Out another Classic for Houston Art Car Parade

While the car was being restored by Classic Cars of Houston – a project that took nearly a year – Wagner and Sanders-Hale collaborated on the design. The concept was to have a repeating pattern extending from the front of the car to the back. The pattern depicts the different aspects of brewing beer, each morphing into the next. The design also incorporates gold, silver and copper leaf.

"I love the way it turned out and I’m so thankful that Brock and Saint Arnold provided me with such an amazing canvas," said Sanders-Hale, who earned a degree in graphic design from the University of Houston and creates four-wheeled works of art out of Blip Workshop. "The design looks interesting from far away, but you have to get up close to really appreciate how intricate it really is. That’s true for the ’59 Cadillac itself, too, which is why this was so much fun."

Now in its 28th year, the Houston Art Car Parade is presented by The Orange Show Center for Visionary Art. The event – the oldest and longest art car parade in the world, attracts more than 250,000 spectators who turn out to view an incredible array of mobile masterpieces. Organizers expect over 250 vehicles and other entries from 23 states, Canada and Mexico. In addition to cars, parade entries include anything on wheels from lawnmowers to go-carts.
