The long-missing Captain Muffler Man of Douglas has been found! It turns out that the giant was never actually in Douglas, but instead just south of Gray, Georgia, on Highway 129, at a small used car lot named Anchor Sales. The business was sold around 1998 and the new owners were not interested in the Captain, who was taken down and stored in the woods for the last 26 years. Rediscovered by Dave Distler, American Giants then retrieved the Captain in March. He is currently at Mark Cline's shop in Virginia for restoration, and will eventually stand at the American Giants Museum in Atlanta, Illinois, as a Phillips 66 Cowboy.
