This piece was the reason I was at the sculpture park in the first place. It’s by the modern Renaissance man Terry Allen and is a bronze cast of a 1953 Chevrolet coupe and gives every appearance of having just careened off a narrow West Texas road into the woods of Austin.

And the headlights are on.
