Just when you think you’ve seen everything......!?! So what’s the story? How did it get in there, is the building it was in connected to DuPont, and how many floors up was it?
16 years ago it was put in through a window that had been stoned over since then. Hagley Museum third-floor tiny elevator only way out.SAD
Its always good to plan ahead, huh? Reminds me of a guy my dad knew that built a boat in his attached garage only to find out it was too big and he couldn't get it out. Don't know what he did about it.
Craig was faced with a bit of a problem. Spirit of America, roughly two-thirds complete, was trapped in the garage, its outrigger rear wheels too wide to fit down the driveway. He managed to clear an extra foot of space by taking a sledgehammer to the concrete steps at the side door of the house, but it wasn’t enough. Mr. Tuchen’s hedge on the other side of the driveway had to go too. And there wasn’t much chance of Mr. Tuchen giving permission to cut it down. Craig remembers Stan Goldstein turning to him and asking, “What are we going to do?” “Well,” said Craig, “what we’re going to do is you’re going to go down to Sam’s U-Rent and get a chainsaw, and we’re going to fire that baby up and take the hedge down in one fell swoop before Mr. Tuchen can get outside.” So that’s what they did. https://www.hemmings.com/blog/2018/...ove-cleared-a-path-for-the-spirit-of-america/
