Mac, Here is one from my hometown of Parkersburg WV. The Cherokee Village Used Cars on RT95 in south Parkersburg. It has been around since at least the late 60's.

There used to be one in Cody, WY, at this location. I rode there yesterday and found that the little red hut is still there, but all that remains of the Muffler Man is his foundation.

Does Uncle Sam count? Came across this one on US 30 at the OH/IN border this morning.
He doesn't show up on the "Roadside Attractions" web page.

He's probably more on the unusual odd ball category...Does Uncle Sam count? Came across this one on US 30 at the OH/IN border this morning.

OK, had to get out and knock off some of them SoCal Muffler Men. First off, lemme tell ya, Carson, East Los Angeles, and El Monte are not near the top of the list for prime riding destinations around here. : That's why early Sunday morning turned out to be the time to do this.
North on the I-405 from the OC got me to just before the I-110. On the south side of the freeway he's sitting on the golf course overlooking the freeway. That's why the picture is from a ways away at the course parking lot. I wasn't gonna be stopping on the shoulder of the freeway for a pic. I've probably driven past this one about half a zillion times. Soon as I saw it I said, " 
"
Then a quick jot back to the north I-710 and up to East LA. This was just a block or so west of the freeway. You can see my gangbanger brothers misspelled STOC on the wall there.: This is at Tony's Transmissions.
The third one is at the El Monte sign company and is inside their fenced yard with equipment parked in front of it. Turns out this was about a mile from the house where I grew up. Probably sittin' there the whole time.
After the freeways-and-muffler-men part of the ride I headed on up and rode the Angeles Crest Highway. Oh yeah, it's great to have that road back.

Motomac, ya' could have thanked me for getting the ones that require you to go through all that annoying scenery and twisties of the Big Horns, Black Hills, and Beartooths!
:crackup

OK John, thank you also, but we still need locals to get the listed muffler men in areas we don't travel!!!

Oh well, this is a repeater. :| (So don't send me the multi-million $$ Grand Prize yet ) Motomac got this one in Escondido early on. It is unique that this one's still in the muffler business. Had a great ride out through Julian and Anza Borrego, etc. Beautiful day.
They must have donated the 'E' to the Escondido sign . . .
