Though it prides itself on its billboard- and litter-free highways, Vermont has its share of strange stuff. Ever wonder where you could find the world’s tallest filing cabinet? It’s in Burlington.

But even more impressive is the roadside gorilla statue along US Route 7 between Leicester and Salisbury. Nicknamed Queen Connie, she was constructed in 1987 out of reinforced cement. Connie’s detail is superb, right down to her gorilla-vampire set of choppers.

But Connie doesn’t just stand there. Her left arm is stretched to the sky and, like a muscular waiter with a tray, she balances an actual VW Bug. How did the Bug get up there? How come the whole thing doesn’t topple over? Don’t they have windstorms in this part of Vermont? Connie and her set of wheels hold multiple Green Mountain mysteries. And some top -notch photos, too. Pioneer Auto Sales, 2829 US Route 7, 802-247-4242.
