It was too heavy to move, except for like the single truck that moved it when it crashed. It didn’t just get heavier over night did it?
It’s just code for nobody wanted to pay to have their shit cleaned up, so everyone just left it because who cares. I can’t imagine it’s much of an “attraction”, that’s just some smart local politician inventing an excuse to not have to clean it up.

If it was full of (now hardened) cement, it really could be too unwieldy to move without expensive, specialized equipment.

In the 50s id be surprised if there was more than one piece of equipment in the state that could move that thing. Even today I’d be shocked if there were more than a handful of capable machines in the state.

If Mythbusters taught me anything, the right answer is to blow it up.

To trigger a controlled explosion?

It’s Route 66 memorabilia - shit like “oh shit this is an oddly round barn” is considered notable. There’s also a whale that looks like a fifth graders paper mache project.

I was gonna say, sounds like no one wanted to pony up for a crane, flatbed, and disposal. I dig the paint job creativity though.
