Artist Tristan Eaton is flexing his style on Ford Flex roofs, turning them into street art. Ford insists on calling this roof-as-canvas a "Cool Lid." Whatever you call it, we're glad the company is taking a page from the folks at Mini, who have long encouraged customization on its car's roofs. The main difference: although Mini owners can get a checkered flag or helipad roof, Ford isn't planning on offering any roof options besides white or silver.
Eaton is creating his pieces of art on sheetmetal stampings of the Flex roof on the Ford stand of the New York Auto Show. "It's fun to work in a public space like an auto show, where I get energy from the people," Eaton said.
When it goes on sale this summer, the Flex won't likely have problems attracting customers. Down the line a few years, though, why not introduce an Eaton limited edition Flex?
