car sculpture set to fall

Tribune staff report

The 40-foot sculpture of eight cars stacked in the middle of a Berwyn strip mall parking lot—immortalized in books, postcards and the movie "Wayne's World"—will be coming down this summer to make room for a drugstore, officials said today.

But one of the Chicago area's unique pieces of art could be resuscitated, depending on the cost, said Michael Flight, president of Concordia Realty, which manages Berwyn's Cermak Plaza.
