The American Giants Museum holds the largest collection of Muffler Men in one place on Route 66. The museum, which was completed in October 2022, presents the story of International Fiberglass, which produced hundreds of animal and human advertising figures in the 1960s.
It is located in Atlanta, Illinois, which is home to its very own giant roadside man: the hot dog-holding Paul Bunyon (sic).
