We always called this the "Car-Ka-Bob".

I worked right up the street from this strange monument. I used to think to myself that if ANY one of those cars on the skewer was valuable, someone would have stolen the entire display in the middle of the night. But the cars have a giant spear through them, right? No problem in today's greedy, unscrupulous, hack-em-up, glue-together, auction-them-off world we live in today.

The Car-Ka-Bob was also shown in the movie "Wayne's World".

I remember that building from when we used to drive to downtown Chicago...

All I remember about the highway names was the "Dan Ryan Expressway" LOL
