Driven Towing Muffler Men

There are now four Muffler Men here: a Paul Bunyan, a Mobile Man, a Texaco Big Friend, and Tow Man. Plus there are a lot of vintage cars and vintage oil and gas signs and a whole McDonald's playground from the early 1970s.

Towing Muffler Man

Hot Springs Muffler Man

We recently set up a new Muffler Man at Driven Towing and Recovery. He is a custom tow truck driver made by Mark Cline. After completion in August we hauled the giant to our (American Giants) shop and installed an internal structure so he can free stand.

We installed him at Driven in early November, just a few yards from an original Bunyan that previously stood in Oklahoma. The new Muffler Man holds a large chain and J hook.
