Metal Sign Man

Metal Sign Man is missing his arm, and quite faded from the years in the sun. He stands near the Star Lite Motel sign from yesteryear. He is in need of a new paint job but you can still read the faded Young Enterprise Produce on his shirt.

Sign, not a statue

Sorry to have to inform you that the Texaco Big Friend reported in Mt. Airy, NC is not a Big Friend, not even a Muffler Man, but a ten foot tall metal sign. On Route 52 Bypass (not 52 Business).
