Strange Art in Sandy Springs - Part 2

Of course, the civic-minded Arts Sandy Spring (abbreviated ArtSS by their friends) isn't the only group with art installations.  I spotted this objet d'art in the yard of a well-to-do home in Sandy Springs.

This old car struck my eye today when I was renewing our license plates.  It's the kind of well-sorted hot rod that I would have loved to own when I was a kid.  I believe it is a 1972 Datsun 510 sedan.  Vintage Datsun advertisements used to claim that "Under Our Sedan body, lurks a sports car."  I believe these rims bring that sports car out into the open!

It may be a work in progress, but it looks very cool so far!  This car made my list of Japanese classics.

The City of Sandy Springs is an Atlanta suburb with a large concentration of yuppies and rich people.  These are precisely the kinds of people who can patronize the arts.  They've erected a few unusual pieces in their city.

This piece at the Sandy Springs Library looks a lot like a radio antenna or oil well.  But, it's actually a sculpture.  In the early evening it caught the sun just right and looked pretty cool.
