This 1971 or ’72 Oldsmobile Delta 88 has been advertising a local recycling company for at least fifteen years. I’m not sure how it has stayed up there all this time. A closer look shows what appears to be chains holding the car to the base. Must be pretty sturdy!

Super Glue? If so they could’ve collaborated and make it a joint advertisement!
Then the car would need to hang from the sign.
There is (used to be?) a salvage yard in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, that had a Rolls-Royce on similar display, only much closer to the ground.
We’ve got one like that on US301 north of Richmond, south of Hanover Court House. It’s a Crosley wagon, and definitely a local landmark. The auto parts supplier who’s had it all these years was forced to take it down. After a BIG local public outcry, the authorities make enough grumbling changes to save face, and let it be put back up.
Multiple bumper jacks atop each other to heft the hulk up there?
Taking Oldsmobile to “new heights.”
I could always use a spare front clip for my ’72 ragtop 🙂 .
That reminds me of the Holden WB Ute on a pole used to promote the “Deneiliquin Ute Muster” in rural Australia. This cultural event promotes all things Ute. Check it out here: http://www.deniutemuster.com.au
In Searcy, Arkansas, right off the freeway on Race Ave, there is a used car dealership I occasionally pass by on road trips that has TWO suspended cars.
One is an orange 98-02 or so Firebird that rotates atop atop a short tower.
The other car is mounted directly to the roof of the main building…and its cut in half long-ways! That unfortunate car is a red 75-77 or so Corvette.
This used to be near my house until they took it down several years ago. Kind of the ultimate “car on a pole”.
