The Muffler Man Files

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.

Indian Variety Muffler Man from Minnesconsin...

The Wild Child took a special trip to Minnesconsin to get this pic of an Indian variety Muffler Man. He's holding a big stick with a leather ball on the end of it. She says it smells a little funny beneath his loin cloth there.
