Remember last year’a Jeep Wrangler made out of cans to celebrate Canada Day? No? No problem – for those who missed out, FCA Canada built another one to display on the streets of Vancouver.
The iconic Jeep was recreated in full scale out of 5,000 cans of non-perishable food with help from students, scouts, and Canstruction, a non-profit organization that specializes in this kind of display.
Displayed on the West Coast city’s waterfront to mark the country’s 149th birthday, the Wrangler sculpture will now be disassembled, its cans going to local food banks to make over 3,500 meals for those in need.
This wasn’t the first time that FCA Canada and the FCA Foundation teamed up with Canstruction for this kind of project. Nor was last year’s Jeep display. In 2014 they created a Ram pickup out of cans and put it on display at the Calgary Stampede. And in 2013 they showcased a Dodge Grand Caravan in downtown Toronto.
We doubt this will be the last such project, either. So the question is, what will they do next? A Viper on Montreal’s Crescent Street during the Canadian Grand Prix, perhaps? Or a Challenger in front of Parliament in Ottawa? Let’s wait and find out, shall we?
