Car Parts Man.

Auto Parts Sculpture

"Happy" the car parts sculpture is a cool statue for a quick visit. You can hit all three of Roadside America's Salina sites within 5 miles radius of each other. [Shannon and Ashley, 06/15/2019]

Happy with Bandage.

Happy, Auto Parts Muffler Man

Twelve years later I find "Happy" with a bandaged brow (perhaps from a scrap with a larger "traditional" Muffler Man - those guys got a mean right hook ya know), and he's chucked the flag.

Now it seems he has something a bit less patriotic on his mind.

Salina muffler art man.

Auto Parts Bunyan sculpture

We used to have a "Muffler Man" here as Paul Bunyan. I do not know where he went. We have a much smaller version now though, this one is a true muffler man and can be seen in the 1600 block of E. Iron Street, Salina, Kansas. There is a new muffler shop there. The owner is a true character and did several "surgeries" before he got it built to his satisfaction!
