Bakersfield, California - Muffler Man - Indian

Muffler Man iconThis Muffler Man Indian used to stand over the traffic circle on Chester Avenue (the north end of the downtown area) in front of the Big O tire shop, facing south. If memory serves, the shop used to be "Big Red Indian Tires." He was a less burgundy color then. I remember the arrows stuck in him, and I remember that he was donated to Standard Middle School for some unknown reason (my mother was teaching there at the time). Thanks for the update on a familiar face from my childhood! [Curtis Gropp, 05/31/2005]

The Warrior.  Bakersfield, California - Muffler Man - The Indian Warrior

Muffler Man iconMuffler Man of Bakersfield California is one of the lucky ones. A fine specimen of the Indian variety, he spent 17 years lying behind a school before a cowboy finally vowed to give the "Warrior" a good home at his ranch. When the ranch was sold, the cowboy kept his word and had the Warrior moved to a place of honor, standing proud atop a pedestal wrapped with bricks engraved with the names of sponsors along with this sordid tale. Interestingly, the Warrior, like many other Muffler Men across the nation, has survived being pelted with arrows in the chest. [splatt, 09/10/2004]

Muffler Man iconThis big Indian dude appeared recently next to a popular biker watering hole in northeast Bakersfield. I think he might be a reconfigured muffler man, or possibly a close relative. [Gwen Barnes, 10/05/2001]
