Toronto Cops Pull Over a Pedal-Powered ’86 Buick

Artist Michel de Broin removed the
engine, suspension, transmission and electrical system from his 1986 Buick Regal. He then equipped it with 4 independent pedal and gear mechanisms transforming his old Buick into the "Self Propulsion Car." De Broin’s piece was shown here in New York City back in 2005 at an Exit Art exhibition entitled "Traffic".

In this video (via BlogTO), a perplexed Toronto police officer pulled the car over during a test drive. On the artist’s website, you can also see a video of the "Self Propulsion Car" in action on the streets of Hell’s Kitchen.
