World’s Gorilla Holding a VW Bug

Title:World’s Gorilla Holding a VW Bug
Location:Leicester, Vt.
Description:While we see outlandish promotional statues everywhere else in the country, this is probably the only big, goofy one along the over-regulated roads of Vermont.

At the end of the gorilla’s upraised left arm is a real Volkswagen Beetle. The statue is sometimes called “Queen Connie,” and was built using steel-reinforced concrete by a local artist, T.J. Neil, in 1987.
