Pinkie the Pink Elephant

Pinkie is a pink fiberglass elephant in enormous black-framed glasses, standing at a Shell station in DeForest, Wisconsin. Sparta’s Sculptured Advertising made her, and the station’s owner put her out front in the 1960s to beat the competition at the intersection. She’s the last of several pink elephants that once stood at gas stations in the area.
