Ed's Giant Muffler man is now Giant Muffler of Vista California. He sports a black and yellow checkered shirt and blue pants. He is one of the "saluting" type, with the right arm in the upright position. The shop has been thoroughly renovated with matching theme colors. He "waves" hello to all who travel along South Santa Fe Road.

Muffler Man of Vista California is doing well in his new location at Ed's Giant Muffler. An easy 3 minutes from Highway 78 using Sycamore Ave. His paint job is weathered but his structural integrity is stellar. His left hand contains a strap which obviously held some sort of prop in the past.

I am happy to report that I was wrong in my assumption that the Muffler Man in Vista, California was a phantom sighting of the Joor Muffler Man of Escondido. I had a chance to see the Vista Man over the weekend. He is located atop the roof of Jenkins Giant Muffler at 146 W Vista (Near Santa Fe Ave).
