After starting with stickers from his son’s sports teams a decade ago, Al Pallone gradually enveloped his 1975 Pontiac Grandview in adhesive propaganda for heavy metal bands, cartoon characters, and pretty much everything else. After ZaBeast accumulated 5,000 stickers—not to mention the action figures populating the hood and dash and the fake gorilla mitts hanging from the trunk—the service life of Colorado’s first art car ended in 1997 when the engine blew. Pallone donated it to the Forney Museum of Transportation where it has been on display ever since, alongside Amelia Earhart’s “Gold Bug” and the Porsche from Risky Business.
