The passenger car, the 1957 BMW Isetta, was made by a resident of the United States, Dwayne Saunders, a real celebrity. He covered the body of the car with wine corks and now puts it on an auto show.

A 1957 BMW Isetta ended up in a terrible condition at the auto repair shop. He had to restore it from scratch. And only after a total repair of the chassis and body, Saunders switched to finishing. About this writes "Samodelkino.Info".

As a finish, the American used wine corks. It took more than 1,100 hours of robots and 2,000 traffic jams to cover the body. This process was very time-consuming: it was necessary to glue and adjust a huge number of parts. Each cork was cut in half, and sometimes into even fewer parts.

After completing work on the car, he became the star of several local auto shows and won the nominations “Best Choice” and “Best in Class”.

This is not the first experience of restoring a compact car at Dwayne Saunders. After retirement, he began to buy half-dismantled mini-cars and repair them. Now in his collection there are 33 cars, most of which are small cars.

Recently, OXO wrote about a needlewoman from Omsk who embroiders brooches not with threads, but creates them with the help of polymer clay.
