This sale ran for two weeks in May 2025 and resulted in a high offer but this was declined by the owner since it was considerably lower than what these giants sell for. Deterents were the fact that the giant was missing feet and the paint colors were not desirable to interested buyers. The owner plans to fix the feet, repaint the giant and complete the legs and put the giant up for sale again sometime in 2026.

HISTORY – This iconic fiberglass Bunyan, crafted by International Fiberglass, is a well known fixture in the Chicago area. During the mid 60s, dozens of these larger-than-life Bunyans were made and sold to businesses and amusement parks across the country. Out of all the styles of Muffler Men this one was the most produced and certainly the most common. This particular statue was one of a handful of giants that ended up in the Chicago area, and appears to be one of the earlier models made. In the 1960s the giant was installed on the roof of Kallemeyn Auto Rebuilders in Evergreen Park and at the time still had his boots. At some point during the years the boots were removed for unknown reasons but possibly because they snapped off during a storm or because of wind damage. The shoeless giant was then attached with a bracket to a short brick wall and secured with wires. In 2011 he was repainted and looked pretty good but sadly came down in a massive storm in 2017. The giant lay in pieces on the roof for over a year before being brought inside. American Giants was considered for a restoration but it never materialized. In 2024 restoration began on the giant before it was decided to sell him in 2025.

INFO – Statue is roughly 19 ft tall with an estimated weight of 300 pounds (could be more). Statue is complete other than his Bunyan boots which are missing. The giant is in various stages of restoration and is sold as is. The head has been restored and repainted.Torso and arms are restored and have also been repainted. Pants are partially restored and sanded but have not been painted. The boots are missing and replacements will need to be made and installed. The seller is willing to complete the painting for an additional fee or the buyer can pick up as is. Buyer is responsible for pick up and transport. The giant is located at Guardian Auto Rebuilders in Evergreen Park, Chicago. Please reach out to the the offer email above for any other questions and direct your questions to American Giants not Guardian as we are handling this sale for them.

Once again American Giants has sold another original Muffler Man, this time from own collection. Because we found the Gray, GA Phillips 66 Cowboy last year and restored it, we decided to set it up at our Museum in IL instead of the one we already had.

HISTORY – This iconic fiberglass cowboy statue, crafted by International Fiberglass around 1966, was very likely a part of the Phillips 66 “Cowboy Campaign.” During this nationwide promotion, dozens of these larger-than-life cowboys were deployed to gas stations across the country to attract customers and embody the brand’s Western spirit. This particular statue was possibly one of a handful sent to Illinois, where it stood in Belleville when the campaign concluded. In the early 1970s, the statue was purchased by Leon Demand, who displayed it outside his computer store on Centerville Road. Over time, the cowboy was relegated to the weeds behind the business, largely forgotten. In 1988, Demand sold the statue to Mark Paule Auto Sales, where it spent the next decade on the sales lot. During this period, it was painted yellow and even held a go-kart frame, serving as a quirky advertisement. In 1998, the cowboy was acquired by Croft Trailer and relocated to Valley Park, MO where it was mounted high on a building platform, till it was brought down in a storm. In 2016, the statue was purchased by American Giants, and in 2017, a Southern Illinois fiberglass worker began a partial restoration, though the project was never fully completed.

American Giants recently ran another sale for a Muffler Man, this time one of the female versions. The giant was located at the old Stan the Tire Man location in Mt Vernon, IL. This particular gal is unique in that she still had her original shirt and skirt and comes with a full and rich Uniroyal and International Fiberglass history. The giant was used as part of a roving promotion program in the late 60s for Uniroyal Tire and ended up in Southern IL when the program ended. She was purchased by Stan the Tire Man business and even stood with a Bunyan Muffler Man for a few years in the 70s. She was eventually moved to Mt Vernon and stood there till 2015 when she was sold and moved to California. She was fully restored in California and stood in Hayward till she was sold and returned to Mt Vernon in 2021. Her current owners in Mt Vernon sold her in September of 2024 and she will be relocating to Texas.

There are two fiberglass statues in Indiana that are the only remnants of a rare bread of giants that go by the name of Corey. The statues are believed to have once been used at Marathon Stations, have also advertised for a number of other businesses over the years. The manufacturer us unknown but the Corey statues were made from the same mold as a number of Uncle Sam statues that dot the country. The only differences appear to be a top hat and beard while the Corey statues more closely resemble a jockey or flag man. Recently one of these rare giants came up for sale.

Please watch the American Giants Episode below for full details on the giant and his history.

The statues stand between 20 and 24ft tall with an estimated weight of 1,200 pounds (could be less). One holds a broken ice cream cone North of Muncie while the other has stood in New Castle for years. Recently Royal Machining and Repair also from New Castle, purchased the property that the New Castle Corey stood on. Not particularly wanting the statue on the property they reached out to us to help them find a buyer. We ran a 3 week open offer on the giant and wrapped it up with a sale to a buyer in Ohio. The giant will get a full restoration and then be moved to a muscle car museum where he can pay tribute to his history in the gasoline industry.
