Chicken Car: Death of a Legacy

For the past decade, it was like an old friend parked on Lincoln Blvd in Santa Monica: the Chicken Car. I vowed to finally photograph it before returning home to NY so I could share its majesty (all the more charming as it tarnished with age).

Unfortunately, it seems the Chicken Car is no more. BUT…it has been photographed.

I’ll dearly miss this sight:

The Chicken Car’s purpose, as well as the details of its disappearance, remain shrouded in mystery.

Note: Matt accurately pointed out that along with the legend comes a legendary misnomer. It is indeed a ROOSTER car. Perhaps when baffled by such a sight, people refer back to their most basic classification skills

  1. A) For as long as I live, I’ll never understand people’s obsessions with fowl (i.e. rubber chickens, chicken costumes, Howard the Duck, etc.)

    B) Hmmm… “shrouded in mystery” you say. I wonder if there’s a KFC around the corner from there?
