Talk about intimidating....
I'm a Calder car fan
Calder started my love affair with BMWs. The famous "Hans in the air" photo & the Calder car are VIN 2275992. http://www.lezebre.eu/car/bmw 30 csl/photo gallery/photo gallery bmw 30 csl 2275992.htm
Stella is my favorite too. It's amazing how much detail is on that car.

Wonder where you buy a can of checkered touch-up paint.......
Some of the Stella car is electrical tape.
Erik Wensberg was in charge of the Art Cars getting from Germany to the exhibit in New York for the November 1986-February 1987 exhibit. When the cars arrived in New York as Stella was being off loaded the air dam was damaged & needed emergency repair. Erik received a panicked call about the air dam & by some stroke of good luck found a body shop on Long Island to make the emergency repairs. In 24 hours they repaired, painted re-taped & returned the air dam to the car. As Erik relates the story, it was all done by the-seat-of-the-pants & by the skin-of-his-teeth. Since then the air dam has been repaired & replicated so there's a spare.
I also love the Stella car, although I could be considered biased
- actually I love them all, especially the early cars.While not an E9 (forgive me) I do love seeing these two together.
Yes, I still pinch myself and often ask, how is this in my hands.

Great picture, thank you DMWBMW, I know I don't have one this clear without people in the frame
i think the ///M1 is so great a canvas for art cars. both the Warhol and the Stella together. truly beautiful cars. i would also like to see the Stella + Calder e9's together
What a great day that was!
Andrew, nice photobomb!
I don't think that I ever posted these. Better late than never
Oh it was - crazy in so many ways, but the best kinda crazy.
Driving on the lawn that day, what an experience
I also met so many people that week that have now become firm friends. Thank you to everybody who came up and said hello making the day so special, and also to you guys above for these fantastic pictures (one day we will find the picture with the front spoiler - missing above- on the roof of Paul Cain's golf cart and Jennifer riding fireman style holding it
)I have been reminded, I need to make sure those clips are turned around on the air cleaner
)Merry Christmas everybody and again thank you for the wonderful memories.
P.S. there are some famous faces from this forum in the pictures above
