Hey Michigan, take a ride in the big banana car

Hey Michigan, take a ride in the big banana car

The Big Banana Car will be in Michigan for the next few days. Don’t miss out on a ride in this unique car.

The inventor and owner of the Big Banana Car, Steve Braithwaite, will be making the rounds in Genesee County, Wayne County and Macomb County with this unique vehicle over the next few days.

I had the privilege of meeting Steve and seeing the Big Banana Car at Shea Automotive Collision Center in Flint Township. It was a great photo opportunity and the ride of a lifetime.

Can you believe the Big Banana Car was once a Ford F-150? Construction began in 2009, mostly on Sundays and occasionally on weekdays. Eventually, the original 1993 Ford pickup was converted into a rolling banana and hit the streets in 2011.
