I recently came across two photos of Muffler Men in Las Vegas, from the mid- to late-1960s, while doing research for my FB page "Nevada Armored Transport." Both Muffler Men were on the Las Vegas Strip at Phillips 66 service stations; one was just north of the Stardust Hotel and Casino, and the other was just south of the Aladdin Hotel and Casino. Both service stations no longer exist.
