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.

This is a pretty incredible sight -- a huge saxophone made of VW Beetles. How cool is that!! Go check this out.

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.
[Matt Kirby, 07/22/2007]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.
