USA - California - One of the last "Uniroyal Gals"

One of the last "Uniroyal Gals" at the roadside in Pearsonville, California. This Uniroyal Gal is known locally as "Hubcap Lady," in honor to longtime town resident Hubcap Annie, "Queen of Hubcaps." She has been a fixture of Pearsonville for decades. She now stands in front of the local park playfield. Her paint is faded from the Mohave Desert sun, but she can be easily seen from the 395 highway. The Uniroyal gal fiberglass fixture of the highway, standing at 15 feet was publicity for Uniroyal tyres. The sculptor who created the original molds for the large lady had a thing for Jackie Kennedy. She was issued with a dress, ready for shedding or donning depending on the community climate.
