Bruce Kennedy reports that he's just acquired the Uniroyal Gal in Mount Vernon, Illinois. It will be shipped within several weeks to join his giant fiberglass statue collection in Hayward, California.

The shapely lady had been a Mt. Vernon landmark for many years. With her move west, Peoria's Uniroyal Gal, Vanna Whitewall, is the last fiberglass giantess of note in Illinois.
