Santa Claus brings good little girls (and in this day, good little boys) dolls for Christmas. Honestly, who cares if your daughter or son wants a doll, but as adults … the doll collections begin to grow creepy, like ice cream truck driver level creepy.

A whole collection of these reminds us of Children Of The Corn. Photo from dolls.icapemay.com

At hot rod shows you will encounter these disturbing little faceless dolls that are always leaning against a car. Most of us would prefer that people looked at our classics instead of using any of their other senses to experience explore our machines.

Typically, most car shows include a little flyer that says please look, but don’t touch in their goody bags; however, the addition of creepy child dolls almost invite people as well as their offspring to take a tactile approach to your car. Why detract from the beauty of classic car or vintage coupe with a creepy faceless doll?

It makes sense to decorate at a trunk or treat event, but for a main street cruise night leave the dolls at home. Imagine what might happen if someone allowed their child to watch the Chucky movies, then took them on a certain ride at the mouse palace, only to have said child have a complete mental breakdown thinking that the animatronic dolls were out to maim them.

There’s just so much wrong with this. Photo from dolls.icapemay.com

So, let’s use this hypothetical and extreme example as another reason to leave the dolls at home. Take a minimalist approach to car shows, let the beauty of your roadster shine unencumbered by the trappings of faceless dolls.
