That does look cool!
It's color changes with the patina of the copper pennies.
The only problem that you would have would be making the mistake of driving it to a penny BINGO parlor.

Perfectly safe and protected with all that copper surrounding you!

Wonder if the car would turn green after some time. If the pennies were real copper, anyway....

Click the link.
The $383.00 Paint Job . . .
1949 Cadillac, completely covered with 38,295 pennies! They were affixed one by one using Silicone. They added over 200 pounds to the vehicle’s weight. The entire project took 6 weeks. The pennies are American, and include an 1817 “Big Cent”, two Error Pennies, and four 1943 Steel pennies; (but who’s counting?). And, it won’t scratch.
Better still, this would make it nearly impervious to EMP disruption … particularly if the engine is all original with no electronics

True!
But in Maryland..... the land of never-ending taxes, tolls & fees;
Those pennies wouldn't get you thru that many tunnels nor across many bridges.......:(

Or driving it in the ghetto with that much copper on on it. That would be the fastest way to have the "paint stripped" lol
