A very tall Muffler Man-type statue greets you as you exit the Massachusetts Turnpike tollbooth at the Route 291 exit in Chicopee/Springfield. It has a good resemblance to Abraham Lincoln, if he were dressed up as a waiter. The statue is dressed in an all-white suite with a white top hat. It's waving at you, apparently welcoming you to the city or congratulating you for surviving the most boring part of the Turnpike.
[Doug Grandin, 04/15/2001]At exit 6 off the Mass. Turnpike. Been there about 6 months. Formerly at a car dealer in Springfield for 30+ years. It was painted like Uncle Sam. When the dealership folded it was moved to the Plantation Inn and painted white like a southern gentleman.
