Lexington, Oklahoma: Spider VW Bug

A car made to look like a bug. Formerly 15 feet high, but now sagging. Built by Monte Bodine in 1973-74. At the time, the now-empty filed where the bug stands was the world's largest VW salvage yard.

Wilson's Volkswagen has taken an old VW body and turned it into a 15-foot tall "Spider"! The VW is the body and from each wheel well and around the body the leg supports are welded.

David Carlson provided this 2004 photo of the bug, and notes that there's been a "For Sale" sign on the property for several years.
