As if the American President that helped abolish slavery needed to get any more legendary, here's his visage immortalized in rust art.
What makes this portrait so awesome isn't the impeccable attention to detail or the fact that the portrait is made out of sheer rust. No, what makes this piece truly ironically epic is the fact that this is a rust art visage of Abraham Lincoln rusted onto the hood of an actual '75 Lincoln Continental. You know that a historical figure is legendary when his portrait is rusted onto a metal canvas off a car that also bears his name. It's almost a Lincoln overload.
The rust art was accomplished by Milwaukee Modern, and even though 'The Lincoln' has been sold, they take requests!
