Norwich, Connecticut - Muffler Man 
The Muffler Man outside of Eblens and Surplus Unlimited is still up and going strong. [Dave Cholewa, 01/28/2009]
Norwich, Connecticut - Muffler Man The statue used to be on the other side of town, on the corner of Central Avenue, in the Greenville section of Norwich, and was owned by a fellow named Alex Cohen. He had the statue in front of a building that was originally a trolly or bus terminal, and during the early 1960s (I think) he used to have a place that was all set up for teenagers, with amusements etc., But the city closed him down, and later he used it as a junk shop. We believe that the statue was sold at auction during the mid 1980s after Alex Cohen's death. [Brian and Toni, 04/17/2006]

Norwich, Connecticut - Muffler Man The Muffler Man is still there in Norwich. He still waves an American flag, patriot that he is. The only thing changed is that the store is not a Surplus Unlimited anymore. It's an EbLens casual clothing store. [Dan Coulter, 12/26/2005][RA: A long neglected update -- it's been an Eblens since at least 1998.]
