Muffler Man - in storage

This is a follow up to the message I sent about the Muffler Man formerly located in Oakwood Village, Ohio. Now owned by the Western Reserve Historical Society of Cleveland Ohio, it's now in our storage facility in Macedonia, Ohio. I snapped a pic of our slightly disemboweled "Big Guy," which will be cleaned and reassembled and installed in our new Crawford Museum of Transportation and Industry, along with a Big Boy restaurant statue, and a flying saucer-shaped gas station. We're hoping to have the museum opened on Cleveland's lakefront in 2004.

Muffler Man - confirmed

A Muffler Man sighting was reported in Oakwood, Ohio back in May, 1999. I live in Twinsburg, Ohio which is next to the city of Oakwood. I see this Muffler Man every day on my way to the highway (Ravenna/Broadway road)to and from work. This Muffler man wears a short sleeved, white t-shirt with right palm up, left palm down. He used to hold a huge wrench in his hands, but it has been missing for at least a year now. We can't figure out where it went!
