Car “Crashes” Wall 24 Hours a Day
Motorists driving on Route 78 near Escondido, Calif., are startled momentarily by the sight of a car “crashing” into a restaurant. A closer look reassures them, however, since the car is really only half a car and the “crash” is painted on. The restaurant is located on a sharp curve, thus heightening the effect.
“the sight of a car “crashing†into a restaurant. A closer look reassures them”
Just in case they usually see the word “CRASH!” when viewing accidents…

A local body shop has a similar advertising gimmick — a smashed up pickup truck positioned to look like it’s crashed into the corner of the building. During the day they turn on the four-way flashers.
