Schaefer's Auto Art is an amalgamation of automobile and other mechanical parts into works of giant yard art. This place is a prime example of the fading American #culture of the roadside attraction. Roadside attractions had their heyday with the rise of the automobile. As Americans increasingly traveled by car, many businesses had one shot to attract the attention of potential customers zipping by at higher and higher speeds. Thus, the creation of larger than life, brightly colored, oddball sculptures along America's burgeoning highways and byways.
