The monumental chrome and bronze warbirds are still around town: at Bunkhouse Burgers on Highway 50 and at the car wash on South 9th St. The bronze P51 is at the bank at Highway 50 and 9th St.

Chrome Bumper Warbirds

Several chrome auto bumper warbirds exist around the neighborhood of my studio. The F4U Corsair is at the Jiffy Lube on 14th, the P51 Mustang "Chromustang" is on a pole two blocks south of the car wash on 9th. The P40 is moving to Lake Havasu City, Arizona. Canon City is the Prison Capitol of North America and also has the Royal Gorge Bridge to attract tourists. My cast bronze monumental warbirds enhance the USAF Academy and other museums.
