Berwyns Car Spindle

On the SW corner of Lombard Ave with Ogden Ave, at 6226 Ogden Ave, is Paisans Pizzeria and Bar, with its "mini-spindle" (a car kebag) sculpture that is a homage to the classic Spindle sculpture created by artist Dustin Shuler (1948–2010) in 1989. It was a 50-foot tall spike that had eight cars impaled on it, it was located at Cermak Plaza in Berwyn, one mile north of Ogden Ave. It was a controversial landmark and this led to it being taken down in 2008. Both are pictured below.

The mini spindle has seven miniature vintage cars impaled on a 23-foot-tall spike. It is the work of local artist Pete Gamen, who created it in 20222. Mini spindle US66, Berwyn. Source.
