Final 96th Street car sculpture installed today
The fourth and final 96th Street corridor "Classic Cars of Indiana"-themed sculpture by local artist Arlon Bayliss, was installed today in the roundabout at Gray Road.
"We are excited to share the final piece of public art in the Classic Cars sculpture series along the 96th Street corridor," said Chief Infrastructure Officer Jeremy Kashman. "It's an impressive piece that's been designed and fabricated locally and adds to the uniqueness of the city."
"Stutz" joins three other sculptures by Bayliss, installed at the roundabouts on 96th Street at Priority Way, Delegates Row and Hazel Dell Parkway. Commissioned in late 2021, the four sculptures feature artistic interpretations of the classic cars Marmon, Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg, Studebaker and Stutz - each of which were designed and built in Indiana during the first half of the 20th century when America first began to fall in love with automobiles.
"It feels so good to see this ambitious artwork finally complete - and at last in its home," said Bayliss. "It presented my fabricators, bo-mar Industries, with unique challenges, balancing lightness with strength, as well as keeping faithful to my artistic vision. It's a triumph, we are so proud of it and I hope the community loves it as much as we do."
