Trailer #B7, Rear View

Skinny back tires, lots of dulled cheap chrome, blue-tinted windows.  The license plate frame read "Eddie Hopper Chevrolet" which nicely matched the "HOP 200" license plate.  This frame was later torn off during an unfortunate incident involving a girlfriend's 4:00 AM driving lesson and an ornamental stone wall in front of a Beverly Hills house.  The car hit the wall going about 20 mph in reverse.  It seemed unwise to stick around and the car still moved without any obvious scraping noises, so we drove all the way to her house in Venice before examining the car.  The only damage was the loss of the aforementioned Eddie Hopper license plate frame and a 12" wide dent in the bumper, nothing at all like the apocalyptic mass of accordioned sheet metal I expected to see.  Note the Negativland "No Other Possibility" bumper sticker, my first personalizing touch for the car; this sticker remains there to this day, though I painted over it after a couple of years.  The trailer to the right of the car is my very own 1969 Roadrunner camping trailer, parked in IMW's space #B7; the welded steel structure near the propane tanks later formed a part of the Electric Man sculpture for which the Impala's 283 block served as an anchor-weight.
