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

Saxophone Made of Volkswagen Beetles

This huge sculpture -- a detailed red saxophone made from VW Bugs and car parts -- is still visible. However, the original restaurant is long gone, and the building looked closed. And we observed a few homeless people resting in the shade of the giant musical instrument.

The saxaphone is still on Richmond Ave. It is painted red and is outside a restaurant formerly called Cabo (now deserted-- no pun intended).

Billy Blue's restaurant has closed. The giant sax made out of Volkwagens is still there, but you better visit quickly. Who knows what will happen to it.
