The sculpture incorporates five vehicles atop a wood base, made from a single tree.
The vehicles are (from top to bottom) a Pontiac Trans Am, a BMW 7 Series, a Honda Civic, a Volkswagen Golf Mk1 Cabriolet, and a Mercedes-Benz.
 The vehicles, donated by a local scrapyard, had their engines, transmissions and drivetrains removed to reduce their weight.
A solar-powered electrical system was installed to power the vehicles' headlights and taillights.
 The cars are fixed to a steel column which rises through the centre of the sculpture.
 Bowcott also repainted the vehicles.
 The wooden base which supports the cars is from the stump of an old-growth cedar tree, which was transported from southern Vancouver Island.
The tree was separated into halves along its length to incorporate the central steel column.
