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.

Thus, the creation of larger than life, brightly colored, oddball sculptures along America's burgeoning highways and byways.
