Chicopee, Massachusetts - Top-Hatted Mutant Muffler Man 
In a former life, this statue was the Uncle Sam that stood in front of Mutual Ford in Springfield, MA, until 1999. Now painted completely white, with a softish-Muffler Man head and top hat. He appears to be a mix of liquor branding gentility: the top-hatted Johnny Walker with the white-suited Jack Daniels. The catchphrase of The Plantation Inn is "Southern hospitality in New England." The Big White Guy appears to serve as a visual marker for the C-5As that lumber continuously overhead, landing at a nearby Air Force base.

Chicopee, Massachusetts - Top-Hatted Mutant Muffler Man The big guy identified in an earlier tip. [Rich Birley, 05/19/2001][RA: This is a puzzling mixture of "Service Station Man" arm positioning, and an ersatz M-Man head with overly defined eyes, nose and lips...]
Chicopee, Massachusetts - Muffler Man A very tall Muffler Man-type statue greets you as you exit the
Massachusetts Turnpike tollbooth at the Route 291 exit in Chicopee/Springfield. It
has a good resemblance to Abraham Lincoln, if he were dressed up as a waiter. The
statue is dressed in an all-white suite with a white top hat. It's waving at you,
apparently welcoming you to the city or congratulating you for surviving the most
boring part of the Turnpike. [Doug Grandin, 04/15/2001]

Chicopee, Massachusetts - Muffler Man - Service Station Man At exit 6 off the Mass. Turnpike. Been there about 6 months. Formerly at a car dealer in Springfield for 30+ years. It was painted like Uncle Sam. When the dealership folded it was moved to the Plantation Inn and painted white like a southern gentleman. [Thom Page, 08/11/1999]
