On my recent trip to San Jose, CA, I saw this 30 foot guy out in front of an auto repair shop. The shop is called Babe's Lightning Muffler Shop on The Alameda. Cool roadside auto service advertising art.

Jim are you sure it a Muffler shop? Under Muffler it says Babes... MUFFler. Did you stop in and see what was going on? LOL


Looking for anything from Hoosier Pete, Platolene 500 and Red Bird.

I can't say what was really going on in that shop. But I think dodogas is right. I have seen a similar big guy elsewhere with a huge muffler in his hands. Maybe lightning struck and knocked the muffler out of his hands. After all, it is Babe's Lightning Mufflers.

I kinda think he looks like Jay Leno. Maybe they're not paying him enough on "The Tonight Show". Must be tough having two jobs to make ends meet!!!! HAHA!!!

Kind of reminds me of the big guy in front of the Paul Bunyan drive-in... in Spokane.. I think he had Babe the blue ox with him too, but that was a very long time ago....
