The Cars Greatest Hits Mod

So who remembers the classic “album” The Cars Greatest Hits?

Yup, lots of good songs on that one, plus the cover is kind of cool too. Although I felt a little sorry for that poor banged-up Chevelle.

Anyway, in this age of mass production and one-size-fits-all, I was feeling the need for a little individuality. The Cars needed to be customized…

So here’s the album cover we all know and love, or at least those of us between 30 and 60:

That Chevelle really took a beating! And who is that Lady with the red shoes?

My idea was to replace the car…to replace it with my beautiful ’69 Pontiac Firebird:

Those with sharp eyes will notice the For Sale sign in the window.

*sob*

*sniff*

The ‘Bird is now somewhere in the Cleveland area, being lovingly restored. My only consolation is to think of current gas prices…

I don’t remember which application I used to cut away the Chevelle, probably PhotoShop. Once that was done, it was easy to slip the ol’ Firebird into the background:

Now when I lend my CD out, there will be no question as to whom it needs to be returned!

Sorry I can’t offer the foreground cut-out for download. That would’ve been cool, but it’s nowhere to be found.
