- Berwyn, Illinois - Cars on a Spike
"Spindle," cars on a spike. Remember the great drive by in the movie "Wayne's World?" The shopping center the sculpture is located in has lots of weird sculpture. I have heard that the Berwyn police initiate new cops by sending them to investigate a report of a car smashed up against a wall at the shopping center. The recipient of the joke finds "Pinto Pelt" which is the outside of a Ford Pinto mounted on the wall outside the Walgreen's drug store.
The (Cermak shopping plaza is 1/2 a mile east of the cemetery containing the Circus Train Wreck memorial.

Many outdoor photo-ops including a replica old-time gas station, a nod to Cadillac Ranch in Texas, and a large saddled jackrabbit photo-op. They've been done elsewhere, but live bunnies hopping around is a unique touch.
