Hancock, Massachusetts: Muffler Man - The Big Man

Still there, but the poor guy sure could use a new coat of paint. Looks like he hasn't been painted since the photo from way back in 1999.

Classic type, hands standard, no accessories. In front of an equipment shop in the Berkshires, close to NY border, near the Jiminy Peak Mountain Resort.

The " Big Man" as we affectionately refer to him is owned by my parents, Donald and Judy Whitman and he resides at Green Valley Equipment at the corner of Route 43 and Brodie Mt. Road. His hands are in the standard muffler man position and he had been holding a pitchfork. Green Valley Equipment (which is a farm machinery dealership) purchased the "Big Man" years ago after he had a very eventful life. He had been shot, stolen by college students and had spent some hard time at the local nudist camp.

There is a Muffler Man on Route 43 in Hancock, Mass. outside of a farm equipment shop. It's definitely a Muffler Man. . . about 20 feet tall, hands in the classic position. He's "wearing" jeans and a t-shirt that reads "Green Valley Equipment Company." He's been there for years. I never thought much of him until I visited your site.
