1974 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow

Mr.Rocky Aoki, founder of Benihana, gave Garcia a most unique canvas to paint on to help in his urge to bring attention to endangered animals, a Silver Shadow Rolls Royce. The car attracted the attention of NBC's Today Show and both Mr.Aoki and Garcia appeared to discuss the purpose of the art on the car.


Garcia completed this 1984 Jeep CJ-7 in 2003 using artist paints applied with airbrush and regular brush and then sealed with polyurethane. The imagery was meant to be colorful, exciting  and psychedelic with no rhyme or reason.  Also painted in vivid colors and images, is the engine compartment, the fender wells, the various engine parts, and the interior showcases a spectacular dashboard. The gear shift handle was scuplted by Garcia into the shape of his logo, then cast in bronze and later nickle-plated.

JEEP!
