12/30/2001 - El Monte Sign Company
2710 Santa Anita Ave • El Monte, California
The El Monte sign company has taken good care of this specimen, outfitting him with a pair of crisp bluejeans and a polo shirt sporting the company name, topped off by a jaunty white baseball cap. In his hands he holds a golf club.
This is the first Muffler Man I've had the privilege of being able to walk right up to; the Van Nuys and Malibu men are mounted on tall poles, making them inaccessible. You get a much better appreciation for their sheer size.

Another shot of the golfclub-wielding El Monte Sign Company Muffler Man.
Even in a full-body shot at ground level, it's difficult to appreciate his scale. Note the chainlink fence at the back of the lot, and figure it's about 7 or 8 feet. He's pretty damn tall.
