Artist Completely Recreates Her Grandfather’s 1979 Lincoln Continental Using White Cardboard

American artist Shannon Goff has crafted "Miles To Empty", an amazingly detailed cardboard recreation of her grandfather's 1979 Lincoln Continental Mark V. From the logo to the wheel well to the hand-carved steering wheel, Goff left no part, no matter how insignificant, of the car unaddressed. In an interview with designboom, the artist recalls the inspiration for her project.
