This sighting happened on my first official Muffler Man trip back in 2012. It was the trip where we shot our first episodes about Muffler Men and he was our first stop of the day. He stands in the middle of a field along highway 51 and the business he apparently was ordered for stood empty and unfinished behind him at the time. He had been standing here holding his ice cream for a few years at this point and it wasn’t till later that the place was opened and completed. We correctly assumed he was defiantly one of Mark Cline’s creations made from the mold he had cast from a 15 ft muffler man years before. At the time, I had never talked to or met Mark who was actively making soda jerks and cowboys, all variations of the original 14 ft lumberjack from International Fiberglass. This one has one hand down at his side while others were in standard muffler man configuration with both hands out.
