Matchstick Cable Car

This eight-foot long scale model of a San Francisco cable car was made from 270,836 matchsticks! This exhibit is one of several "fine art" pieces in the San Francisco Ripley's Believe It or Not!® Museum, which also houses an eight foot tall Stegosaurus made entirely from chrome car bumpers and a self-portrait of Van Gogh made from toasted bread!
