The "American Icon" features more than one million crystals in 50 different shades, representing the 50 states.

"We wanted to create something that would pay tribute to America in an eye-catching way," said creator Ken Burkitt. "The car takes on a completely different look as the lighting changes throughout the day. The crystal design takes on a life of its own. The car's design reflects the craftsmanship and detail of the luxury greeting card line we are launching."
From May 20 - 23, 2007, CrystalArt will be launching their high-end greeting card line at the National Stationary Show at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City. Each greeting card is unique and hand designed with fine crystal embellishments, showcasing the artistry behind CrystalArt. One of CrystalArt's greeting card collections is elaborately adorned with over a thousand crystals, distinctly arranged, to create a work of art.
