In den 1960er Jahren war es in den USA ein Ding, sehr große Skulpturen aus Fiberglass aufzustellen. Die so genannten “Muffler Men”. Mittlerweile sind einige der Exemplare so ziemlich vergammelt und werden teilweise restauriert. Joel Baker erklärt diesen leicht skurrilen Vorgang.
Joel Baker is the owner of American Giants, a company that restores muffler men. Muffler men are 18- to 25-foot advertising giants that were popular in the 1960s and are becoming popular again.
He shows us how his team restores a Paul Bunyan muffler man. This includes patching up cracks on the giant, adding a structure inside, repainting it, and placing it in its new location.
