The Pioneer statue is technically not a Muffler Man. When RoadsideAmerica.com began documenting these giant roadside statues in 1996, the name “Muffler Man” was born. It was used to describe the Paul Bunyan type statues and their look-alikes that we would later learn were produced by International Fiberglass. RoadsideAmerica began producing t-shirts showing the four different types: Cowboy, Indian, Bunyan and Half-Wit. The bodies for these statues were all spin-offs of the original Paul Bunyan model. International Fiberglass marketed these statues as Cowboys, Indians Braves, Indian Chiefs, Golfers, Astronauts, Mortimer Snerds, and other names.

Hi there, don’t know if you are still looking for surviving Pioneer Men statues but there still is one at 19338 Colebrook Road in Surrey, BC. I believe it came from the Wago Ho Restaurant after it closed down in Whalley, Surrey, BC. If you Google the address and switch to street view you can see in in the forest in front of the owner’s house. It’s just a little ways to the right (west) of the owner’s driveway (with the address carved on a log)! Been there for decades. Used to know the family that bought it and errected it there but can’t think of their name right now. Cheers, Kip
