Big Bill Muffler Man

I was there today. Big Bill was there, but the Route 66 sign that he was holding is gone.

[Russel Wyatt, 04/23/2024]

Big Bill was a 2023 promotional gimmick, paid for by an oil company, as was his sign. When the promotion was over, the company may have just taken his sign and gone home.

He is beside a cafe in Vinita. Such great condition! Easy to snap a picture.
