Stan the tire man has been a fixture in the Birmingham Alabama area for a long time and I haven’t got an exact fix on the year he showed up but I am guessing sometime in the 60’s. At some point in his distant past, he stood at the corner of 3rd Avenue South and 24th Street at an auto repair shop called Lynn Strickland Tire back in the 70’s. In the 90s he was moved along I-65 and stood on the roof of a building, and some complained that it was almost impossible to get a good shot of him while whizzing by at 70+ miles and hour.
