There is/was another. (I feel like Yoda saying that.) Anyway, last confirmed date of existence was 2004. May still be hiding somewhere in town. I’ve found a couple Tbolts still up.

I too stumbled upon this find in Google Maps tonight.

4581 Buffalo Gap Rd
Abilene, TX 79606

Purely speculating here, but there was a yellow P-50 and Thunderbolt at an Army Surplus place just east of Valera, TX until 2013-14. It was called Smith's Diesel Service. The guy died in 2013 and all of the stuff in his lot was removed (maybe sold at auction?). I wonder if Abilene's P-50 was the one that ended up there. You can see it clearly on Street View from 2013 (linked below).

It's an older P-50, much like the one Abilene had, where the two sections of horn appear more "welded" together rather than bolted.
