The Charger Bronze Statue by Avard Fairbanks 1963 LG Balfour Company

This 1963 bronze-finished sculpture, titled The Charger, was created by the renowned American sculptor Dr. Avard T. Fairbanks (1897–1987). Often featuring a cowboy atop a bucking horse, this specific piece was commissioned by the L.G. Balfour Company as a prestigious sales achievement award for Chevrolet dealerships.
​Fairbanks, a master of anatomical realism who also designed the original Dodge Ram hood ornament, infused the work with a sense of "heroic realism" typical of mid-century corporate trophies. The LG Balfour sticker on the base confirms its origin as a high-end industrial award, often presented to top-performing "Charger" salesmen of the era.
