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.
