The Muffler Man represents the finest of a vanishing national identity. Roadside Americana that symbolized a growing nation, big and vibrant. Right hand up, left hand down, these 18' and 25' behemoths once held mufflers in their mighty hands. These days, the "King of Kitsch" is used in a variety of ways from sea to shining sea. They vanish, only to resurface years later, a couple doors down the street with new clothes and shiny new props. On this Blog, we share and compare.
I'm doin' 80 on the highway thru Blue Earth, Minnesota when I see outta the corner of my eye an unbelievable site. The Jolly Green Giant. Dressed up in Biker garb. So I slam on my brakes and go backwards thru the on-ramp to get this pic.
