Hatch, New Mexico - Muffler Man - Soda Jerk Stopped by Hatch to see the Muffler Man at the RV sales lot. I walked around taking pictures of the other fiberglass objects on the lot, including members of the A&W family, as well as Yogi Bear and Ronald McDonald. I stepped inside to read the framed newspaper articles about the giants and told the lady I had come to see the muffler man, and she said "Oh yeah, we have another one out back."
That's when I discovered their soda jerk. Looks like this may be one of Mark Cline's creations, as its white shirt and white pants match a picture of two soda jerks with Mark. Sadly no one was around that day that knew more about him or where he came from. He's not out front but in one of their buildings so you may need to ask permission to see him.

Wynnewood, Oklahoma - Muffler Man - Smashed! I was a bit surprised when I stopped to see the Wynnewood cowboy to find him missing from his container. Furthermore his container was completely smashed by the fallen sign advertising the western wear store. Inside they told me a bad windstorm had come through in mid-December and knocked the sign down, which hit him on its way. and they found him in 3 pieces on the ground the following morning.
He is being repaired in either Nebraska or Oklahoma City (the lady there wasn't sure which) and will return hopefully by this coming summer. I was able to take some pictures of him before he ships north. [Joel Baker, 01/11/2012]
