Standard body, standard cowboy hat, but with a mutant head -- although he looks better than with his previous atrocious plastic surgery.

Muffler Man at the entrance to Westward Village RV Park.

Awesome mutant cowboy standing guard over Westward Village RV Park and old antique looking stores. Manager of the place says a renowned local artist painted him last year and completely upgraded him from the original. He has a badge that says "Deputy," and even has a trace of chest hair coming out of his shirt. Very nice. They call him "Big Wes."

This is a postcard I found a few days ago from my childhood. Big Matt stood at the entrance of the Boot Hill Museum in Dodge City, Kansas.
Big Matt was a pretty popular local attraction, but due to Southwest Kansas' high winds, his head was blown off at least four times that I remember! Because of this and problems with vandalism, sometime in the '80s (my memory is kind of fuzzy on the exact time) he was taken down for good.
[Chris Murphy, 03/17/2002]There is a Muffler Man in Yuma, Arizona, a little town close to the Mexico/California border. It stands right down the road from a Toys -R- Us, and is dressed like a cowboy, holding a rifle. His hands are positioned correctly. He has been there for years.
