Mt Vernon IL Original Uniroyal Gal – Sold

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.

If you are interested in selling a giant you own, American Giants takes offers on behalf of the owner. Highest offers will be listed on our website and will be considered by the owner at the end of the time period. Making an offer does not guarantee the purchase of the giant, all final offers are subject to the sellers acceptance. The benifits of using American Giants is that we hit your target audience so the entire Muffler Man community is aware you have one for sale. If you are interested in having us sell a giant please contact us at info@usagiants.com

  1. Oh my gosh, Joel. I know this one well. She used to be owned by bruce kennedy. I was upset he sold her. His collection continues to grow! You and i used to converse on instagram. I’m Lisa – the CT paul bunyan at the house of doors, your favorite sale (sorry it was rough). I hope i can visit your museum someday. I am not active on IG anymore. Be well! Lisa

  2. another one of this model was inside the great dive bar/hamburger place “St. James Infirmary” in Mountain View, CA until the place burned down. Arson was suspected. It was costumed to look like Wonder Woman and it stood over the bar.
