This is a creation from the genius Salvador Dali in his museum in Figueres. This mafia-looking old Cadillac contains 3 mannequins in an eerie arrangement as if they are coming home from a ball or a night at some speakeasy. Through the broken glass, ivory vines grow unrestricted. When you throw a euro into the feeder, a sinister fluorescent green light illuminates the inside and an internal sprinkler system bathes the inhabitants, as well as watering the plant that grows around (traps?) them. This is, of course, accompanied by dually sinister music coming from the car's radio. We were alone in the courtyard in the middle of the day when we tried it out and I still have nightmares of it (think scary more like David Lynch rather than "I Know What You Did Last Summer"). Best way to experience it is to probably opt for the night tour of the museum, and be by yourself in the courtyard when you feed the machine. Either way you'll be thinking about it long after you leave.
