Not quite sure why this is referred to as "the muffler man." The local high school mascot is the Indian. They just look at this as a tribute to the school. The Indian is standing proud, and in good condition in the parking lot of Sad Sam's Fireworks.

Across the street from the Pink Elephant with the Martini Glass is a well maintained Giant Indian. His hand is out in a salute. I drove my car under him and it appears he is blessing my car!
It is at a gas station across the street from the abandoned antique mall and unloved Pink Elephant. Quite the contrast between the two!

He's looking great, even at night. He's huge!

Passed through Cross Plains, Tennessee, and my family and I am happy to report that the Indian Muffler Man has been repaired and looks great. A cashier at Sad Sam's said he was fixed about 3 months ago following a storm. His arm was broken off and stolen. However, he now has a new arm, plus what appears to be a new paint job. He is no longer on a high concrete block, but is standing on the ground and surrounded by a knee-high metal fence.
[Chris Kee, 07/23/2009]The Muffler Man Indian is no longer there. He broke off at the legs and fell. As of 2/18/09 they removed him from the site.

March 2009: We've been told that the Indian was blown over in a storm, and that repairs will be underway once molds and moldmakers are found. Unfortunately, while he was down someone stole the "broken off upright arm."
