Pink Elephant and Beach Guy

Just thought I'd confirm that these guys are still here, and I'll add a photo of the pink elephant.

Beach Guy and Pink Elephant

The big beach guy and the pink elephant that was at the Coliseum Antique Mall in Benld, Illinois now has a new home, at the old Livingston High School. They sit in front of the old school which is now The Pink Elephant Antique Mall. And inside the mall is a muffler man.

UFO House

The UFO house is a private residence, but can be seen and photographed from road.

Swimmer Giant.

Giant Beach Guy

While travelling old Route 66 in Illinois I came across this giant fiberglass beach guy. It stands in front of the Coliseum, which is now an antique shop. On the opposite end of the building is a pink elephant on a trailer. I assume this is a new attraction because it does not show up on any Route 66 books or web sites or even the Illinois Rt. 66 maps available from the welcome centers. I mention this only because the Coliseum itself does show up on a state 66 guide.

These was a tip on this Swimmer Giant earlier in 2005 -- he appears to be recent installment. We've seen the mold for this model at FAST in Sparta, Wisconsin. Sun glasses optional.

Swimmer statue.

Big Swimmer Statue

A latter day Muffler Man-statue.

[Kathy Miller, 02/02/2005]

The big swimmer fiberglass statues are recent additions to the commercial statue landscape. They are slightly taller than classic Muffler Men, and don't share the same molds. We're keeping an eye on these guys, in the event they mutate....
