Orange County, CA – California is full of weird and wacky vehicles – but none are quite as quirky as the pool table car. In fact, some experts claim it could be the most unique car in the world.
Commissioned by Triangle Billiards Inc., one of the oldest billiard and game stores in the United States, the pool table car turns heads wherever it goes.
It’s a fully-drivable car, with a full size pool table making up the rear end. When stationary, the pool table can be detached and used for its intended purpose – playing pool! It even comes equipped with a high-tech pool table levelling mechanism to ensure that it is correctly calibrated, even after a drive of hundreds of miles.
Of course, a car like this isn’t created as your everyday family hauler. Triangle Billiards Inc., uses it as a very unique advertising platform – with millions of people flocking to have a look, wherever it shows up.
Joe Fiscella, President of Triangle Billiards Inc., explains how the pool table car came to grace the roads:
“Many companies in our sector closed their doors during the financial crash, but being one of the oldest billiard and game stores in the country, we knew we could create something unique to take to trade shows, museums and other marketing events in order to make a real grand entrance” explains Joe.
He continues “We teamed up with Vini Bergeman, The Kustomizer, star of Discovery Channel’s Kustomizer series and tasked him with pimping us the ultimate ride.”
Many would think that the pool table car could turn enough heads in its bare form. However – its list of features is only just kicking off. The vehicle boasts a removable top, custom tires and rims, fully functioning electric dart board, a high end custom sound system and a custom paint job.
A refrigerator and pop-up television are planned for the future.
“The response has been so huge that we’ve started selling logos on the vehicle for interested sponsorship parties. With the car attending dozens of events each year, it’s a great investment for those who want a stake in America’s coolest car,” adds Joe.
In fact, companies are jumping from all directions to get their logo on the car. They include Brunswick Billiards Corp, McDermott Custom Cues, MA Audio, Ticket to Ride and Lumenyte Corp.
Joe and his team have created a website to showcase the vehicle. It contains a library of videos of the building process, as well as videos and photos of the car in action.
