Muffler Man - Paul Bunyan

The broken Bunyan muffler man has been moved back onto the boardwalk, next to the slingshot-type ride. He is still missing his head and rather broken, but perhaps repairs can be hoped for.

Boardwalk Muffler Men

The three Muffler men you have listed on the boardwalk in Seaside Heights New Jersey were still there in September 2000. This boardwalk in notable for having two antique carousels, and the largest clown parade anywhere every September.

Muffler Man - Boardwalk Half Wits

During a recent holiday visit to New Jersey, I ventured to Seaside Heights to snap a photo of the Alfred E. Muffler Man that I also had seen last year. To my surprise, there are now two - count 'em - TWO new Muffler Men just a couple hundred yards away, both sporting orange shirts bearing Seaside Heights logos. That makes two Alfreds and a lumberjack - three mighty wards of the boardwalk.
