so happy you all are restoring the giants, I traveled Route 66 as a kid with family as well as traveling to Maine, California, Florida, Washington state etc so I remember muffler men and I love everything vintage
Hey, I found your page via the Wikipedia article regarding muffler men. They cite an old page of yours from like 2015 about "missing muffler men." I saw the one from Williamsburg IA is listed as "possibly" living in Waukon, IA now. Has that been confirmed since? It seems like the page has been removed from your blog now.
Yes I have been updating all that old content and shifting it over to my Patreon account. Lots of that info is outdated and I don't think the giant in Waukon is the same giant. Still don't know what became of the cowboy at Landmark.
@@AmericanGiants I know for a fact that owner of the Waukon farm store has told me before where they bought their giant, I'll ask again next time I see him. I agree that it does look a bit different, specifically the hat.

Can't wait to see him fully restored!
So cool, always look forward to seeing the next video.
Great work, thanks for sharing the stories
Happy to do it
Love all these stories and the work you guys are doing. (praying for the future of the Gemini Giant...)
Yes we are all keeping an eye on the events unfolding in Wilmington
One word....YES!
How much do the various parts of the Giant weigh? It looks like you can move him around without much effort.
They are pretty light if there is no internal structure in them. About 500 pounds each.
