Uniroyal Gal

This rare fiberglass giantess is a recent addition for the Pink Elephant Antique Mall. The Uniroyal Gal started as a shapely hazard at a mini golf in Chincoteague, VA in the 1980s. She moved to Kingsville, MD at Huber's Farms in the 1990s, and was acquired and moved to Pink Elephant in 2015.

She awaits restoration, and might be spotted on her back next to the building.
