Muffler Man Replaced By [Waving Giant]

My name is Bryan -- I was the owner of the Muffler Man (Cowboy) at the 26290/26310 Broadway address in Oakwood Village Ohio. He went to the Western Reserve Museum (Crawford Museum of Transportation and Industry, Cleveland, Ohio). This was about 2 1/2 years ago. I missed him by the shop so I acquired an actual Texaco Man this time, complete with original trailer. He last appeared at the Raff Road raceway, a go cart track in Canton Ohio, about ten years ago. He will be undergoing a complete and proper restoration.
