This is a "Muffler Man," a large fiberglass sculpture of a man used as advertising. Hundreds of these, advertising a variety of businesses, were once seen along highways in the United States. The stautes became known as Muffler Men because many early ones advertised muffler or car repair shops. They were made from the early 1960s until the mid 1970s.

This one stands in front of McAllister Rentals, a construction equipment dealer on the west side of Interstate 69, just north of State Road 332, a few miles west of Muncie in Delaware County, Indiana. He was originally built for Jack Smith's RV, and originally held a miniature Winnebago motorhome in his outstretched arms.

by Christopher Crawford

All of my prints are available framed or unframed. I use black metal Neilsen & Bainbridge frames with white cotton unbuffered museum board for the mat and backing board for maximum archival protection. Photographs are printed on an Epson pigment printer using Epson's archival ultrachrome inset for long life.

Credit card payment is handled through Paypal. You do not have to have a Paypal account. When you checkout, you will be taken to Paypal's site. If you have a Paypal account, sign in and approve the payment.

If you do not have a Paypal account, and do not want to sign up for one, there is a link on the Paypal page that says "Don't have a Paypal Account?" Click it to pay without signing up. It will accept your credit card like a normal credit card payment.

Prints usually ship within 7 days. This allows time for me to make your print, and if you have ordered a framed print, to frame and mat it.

Thank you for supporting my work.
