Directed by Harrod Blank • 1992 • United States
WILD WHEELS is filmmaker Harrod Blank’s comic and revealing exploration of art cars —customized automobiles that reflect the individualistic spirit of their drivers. Traveling across the U.S. in his own wildly decorated VW bug, Blank discovers a memorable array of real-life characters obsessed with transforming their cars into mobile works of art. The result is an engaging and irresistibly eccentric deep dive into the heart of a truly unique, all-American subculture.
