A towering statue of a man in a blue shirt stands among tall grass and sunflowers at sunrise, creating a serene and nostalgic atmosphere.

#Stunday Combining my love of sunrises with my quest to see all of the remaining Muffler Men. This guy stands in a bed of flowers in front of Greeley Garage and Auto Repair in Colorado. On my way to Rocky Mountain NP.

On the way home from Springfield, I stopped in to see the American Giants Museum. Check it out on #route66 ! #roadsideattraction #americangiants #mufflermen #atlantail

Iconic Muffler Man redressed i. an American flag-themed outfit, holding a large yellow golf ball and a hot dog. He's wearing patriotic sunglasses and a tall, star-covered cowboy hat, standing in a grassy field #artyear #photography #Americana

Route 66 Missouri: You can’t miss the signs for Uranus, MO (yep you read that right) shock humor abounds in this town. I stopped to check another Muffler Man off my list. Happy to get this one - a 2024 storm decapitated him! #route66 #Missouri #roadtrip #findjoy #MotherRoad #MufflerMen #getyourkicks

Route 66 in downtown Atlanta, Illinois. This Muffler Man stands approx 25" tall. He’s fiberglass. Dressed like Paul Bunyan in red shirt and blue jeans, but holding a hot dog instead of an ax or muffler. From the sidewalk, he looks like he’s peeking out from the hedges. He was at Bunyon"s restaurant in Cicero, Illinois from 1963 until 2003. Now stands across the street from the Palms Grill and Cafe. #Americana #hotdogman #AtlantaIL #PaulBunyan

Rte 66 Illinois: Atlanta Hot Dog Man. I just love these vintage #MufflerMen I try to add a few on every road trip I take with the #RoadsideAmerica map. Sometimes taking an hour or more detour. #Route66 is full of them! #Illinois #roadtrip #USA #artyear #MotherRoad #photography #Atlanta #findjoy

Gemini Giant is a refurbished vintage Muffler Man fiberglass sculpture from the 1960s originally made for auto industry advertising. This guy stands 30 feet tall, dressed in a bright green short sleeve space suit, silver helmet (that looks like a welding hood), silver boots, and holding a shiny silver rocket ship. He stood at the corner of The Launching Pad restaurant on a tree lined street of a Wilmington IL neighborhood.

Rte 66 Illinois: Gemini Giant at the original Launching Pad. He’s still in Wilmington but has a safe new home. This part of the route is called “The first hundred miles” I got my passport & well wishes here. #Route66 #Illinois #roadtrip #ILtoCA #MotherRoad #photography #GeminiGiant #MufflerMen

#AgentKallus kind of reminds me of one of those giant #MufflerMen when standing next to the #DeathSquadCommander 😄

Newly restored (2024), the Ozark Halfwit stands near the Dogpatch store in Lake Ozark, MO where he has greeted visitors for generations.
