Texaco Big Friend

Petroliana collector Rob Harris owns one of only a handful of surviving Texaco Big Friend statues. Recently, he had the statue restored to its original colors. The statue stands between two vintage Texaco station signs.

Joel notes that the statue is not in a publicly accessible spot, so we list it here for tracking purposes. Hope it eventually finds its way back to a roadside view.

Texaco Big Friend - Gone

I was driving highway 64 today and I have bad news concerning the big blue fiberglass serviceman in Clarksville, AR. Bud Ross sold him, apparently just shortly after I posted the article on my website; so he's been gone about a year.
