Still standing tall in the middle of the fairgrounds. This guy isn't really visible from the road and can be a bit challenging to see if the gates are closed during off season. Thankfully they were doing construction the day I stopped by, and I drove right in. He could use a restoration and paint job, and has a strange round hole in his lower beard that I have never seen on other Muffler Men.
[Joel Baker, 11/02/2016]I had not thought about Like Lumbard (my family's name for this guy) in years. He stood on top of Baldwin's Service center, which was where toys r us is now across from the Annapolis Mall. He was there in the mid- to late 1960s when that area was pretty much in the middle of nowhere. I'm glad to see that he is still around. Like several of the other posters I too remember him holding a couple of oversized toy trucks, or a truck and a bulldozer.
[John, 03/18/2011]You can't miss him up on the roof! He is really cool and years ago he held a roll of carpet in his hands. It used to be a carpet store. What a strong guy! They should put a muffler on his hands; looks like he's meditating.

While the Muffler Man I visited is already on your site, there were no photos of him. Being the closest M-Man to my home
