Gorilla Holding A VW Beetle

According to the owners of Pioneer Auto Sales, just south of Leicester, Vt., the conversation that led to their lawn's hosting a giant gorilla holding a Volkswagen Beetle went something like this: When they asked local artist T.J. Neil to make a statue for the dealership, Neil responded, "How about a giant gorilla?" When they asked why a giant gorilla, Neil replied, "So I can make him hold a car." The owners' conclusion: "Sure, but make his other hand stretched down, so people can sit in it." Even if you don't need a new car, you can sit in the gorilla's right hand and stare in amazement at the golden VW Bug held 19 feet aloft in his left hand.
