Named "Smokesax," it's a one-of-a-kind sax made of old VW car parts by artist Bob "Daddy-O" Wade. Moved into storage March 2013; its owners hope to put it back up elsewhere in Houston some time soon.

The sax is now blue. There was a nice amount of parking. A nice photo op if in the area.

Saxophone Made of Volkswagen Beetles

I stopped by recently and the new owner of the property was there, renovating the building. He said that he is fully renovating the sculpture - removing rust, repairing broken glass, and repainting it blue - and that a new bar will be opening on the site in fall of 2009.

Very cool, but it's looking worn, restaurant has been closed for some time and there has been no upkeep. If you want to see it you better hurry.
