The 3D Roadside Attraction promoting Fox Fire Farm. Displayed at Jackson Tire, is available to view Dawn to Dusk from the sidewalk & Mother Road, running alongside the business. The Sign asks the question, 'need tires ?' & features a woman changing a tyre, with her husband looking on with a grin. The 3D artwork was designed by artist Lowell Davis, a Route 66 legend, he always welcomes Route 66 travellers to his home at Red Oaks II, where he has built an entire Town. see: (visit link)
