Gorilla Holds Aloft A VW Beetle - Leicester VT - Roadside Attractions on Waymarking.com

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.
According to the owner, "He did some statue stuff for around our pool. So we asked him if he wanted to do something for this place. He said, 'How about a giant gorilla?' We said, 'Whaddaya want to do a giant gorilla for?' He said, 'So I can make him hold a car.' And we said, 'Okay, maybe a gorilla, but make his other hand stretched down, so people can sit in it.'"
The sitting hand is sturdy, but not ergonomically designed, and is not for the unlimber. It's hard to get up into, and easy to fall from. Careful.
