Muffler Man


The Muffler Man is not an auto repair shop as the name sounds, but an actual statue built in Atlanta, Georgia. According to one description it is "a tire holding Bunyan with alien blue eyes." In fact the statue is a lot like Bunyan in size and lumberjack appearance. The eyes are definitely one of the most vibrant features painted all blue rather than having irises of blue.

Muffler Man is located at 3495 Norman Berry Drive. This address is technically East Point, Georgia as part of Atlanta. To get there visitors need to take I85 South from Atlanta. Take Virginia Avenue exit heading east. One then needs to turn left past the McDonald's on that road. Then head left across from the Red Roof Inn which is the entrance for the Boyd Tire Company. The tire company has the statue standing at the entrance to their parking area and shop. It is fairly easy to find.

Muffler Man is dressed in blue jeans, a red shirt, and yellow hat. His face has a beard and mustache. As a slim statue with broad shoulders and lean body it definitely reminds you of a lumberjack despite the tire held in the statue's hand.
