Here are 5 pictures of European trucks whose trailers are decorated to look like the sides are missing and the products they are hauling are painted on the sides and back.


-The first one is of a bottle of beer and looks so real, like it is coming out the side of the trailer.

-The second is of Pepsi cases and they are all stacked on the
ceiling, and the bottom of the trailer is empty.

-The third is of another truck with the windshield facing the back
and there has been a driver painted in the driver's seat
looking back over his shoulder to appear like he is driving
backwards. (Now this one is just plain scary, even when the
German reads 'On the wrong way?')

-The fourth one is of an aquarium with fish swimming in it.

-The last one (and my personal favourite mainly because I love them) is for Pringles-Hot & Spicy. The 'inside' of the trailer has the appearance of having been through a fire.

Enjoy!

Anytime :) I still think it's an excellent and creative idea. They should do a few over here where our lorry sides aren't made out of fabric!! ;)

It's called Trompe l'oeil (French). Fool the eyes in english. I like the Pepsi one, even though I'm not a fan of it.

I think the give away was that they were all in the same spot in relation to their background. Still, pretty cool though.
