GRAFFITI ARTIST LEE QUINONES MAKES OUR FORD FLEX ART CAR HIS CANVAS

摘要

THE FORD FLEX IS NOT YOUR SOCCER MOM'S CROSSOVER. Despite its rools in the genteel woody wagons of the past - its antecedent, the 2005 Ford Fairlane concept, was inspired partly by Ralph Lauren - the Flex is street tough and street smart. It cries out for customization the way a bare wall in Brooklyn cries out for paint. That is why we asked Lee Quinones, a contemporary artist whose roots are in the subway graffiti movement, to turn a new Ford Flex into a rolling work of art. Traditionally, screwdriver magazines do "project cars." We wanted to do something much more ambitious: an art car. As longtime fans, we were sure that putting Lee to gether with the Flex would produce something astonishing.
