Muffler Man Golfer

The "Carson Golfer" muffler man on the 405 freeway has changed again. He is no longer African American, but is now white again. Also there is an American flag hanging off the end of his golf club now.

Muffler Man - Now African American

We call the Long beach muffler man "Ron" -- and as avid travelers have honked at him for years as good luck! We are terribly confused as to what has happened to him as our happy white golfer has turned into Tiger Woods...what's the true story?

[Alanna, 09/16/2001]

He's undergone a paint job, and may be the first African American M-Man. No fear -- Tiger Woods is a happy golfer too.

Muffler Man - golfer

From the 405 freeway, you can see a muffler-golfer (w/ golf club in his muffler hands) advertising a driving range.
