What cars will spell Hollywood?

alva1370 Sunday, 10/20/2024

I had an idea to recreate the HOLLYWOOD sign spelled out with art cars. I checked all my cars and right now I have zero letters. What cars should I be looking for? 

This may take a while, thanks.

So the Art Cars only started doing the letter roofs in 2016. Here are the slogans used so far:

2016/17: HW ART CARS
2018: 50 YEARS OF
2019: READY SET GO
2020: ART ON WHEELS
2021: I HEART HWs
2022: UNITY IN ART
2023: KEEP DRIVING
2024: CREATIVITY

So most of the letters appear in several years, giving you options to pick from but the D only appears in 2019 (64 Buick Riviera) and 2023 (Ford Transit Connect) and the L in 2020 (Bone Shaker).

If sourcing the authentic Art Cars is too costly, maybe your own car choices with water slide decals cough-Rust Belt Customs-cough 


  • Mainlines and a Sharpie — alva1370
  • Yup! Josh's work isn't exactly cheap in its own right — Chris_Hood
  • It’s nice. I’m looking at it right now. — alva1370

That would be cool!

Depending on how you plan to set the sign(s) up, there are other cars with letters that aren't part of the Art Cars series... off the top of my head in the multi-packs last year there was an orange GTO with a Q on the trunk and sides and a teal Bone Shaker with a Y on the sides. I don't know that there is a resource that lists these somewhere like with the Art Cars, but there is a wider pool of options out there.
