Artist Michel de Broin has constructed a Shared Propulsion Car which is part sculpture and part quadricycle by stripping a 1986 Buick Regal of its engine, suspension, transmission, and floorboards and installing votive candles for headlights.
The artist describes it as ‘an expression of a paradox; the big luxury American car, and pedal power, or the right to drive versus the right to pedal a car’.
Justice of the Peace Patrick Marum (Toronto) has ruled that it is safe and pointed out that Amish people use candles on horse-drawn buggies.
