New tenants moved into the shop on Sherman Way. They decided to paint the building, and even painted the muffler man to match. It's painted clean shaven this time.
[Mike Frankovich, 07/09/2001]
He's been there 20 years at least, possibly many more. At 15237 Sherman Way in the San Fernando Valley stands a Bunyan-esque Muffler Man, shod in lace-up work boots, wearing a white shirt, faded dungarees and a red stocking cap. He has a black beard and arms in the tell-tale position. What is now a tune-up shop was once a tire store, and said Muffler Man held a tire in the downturned hand and wore a white-walled bracelet on the upturned hand. The tires are long gone, as are several other Valley Muffler Men.
