A fiberglass 'Muffler Man' statue stands beside the building at White's Tire, 701 Hines Street South, Wilson, North Carolina, waving with its right hand and holding a tire in its left. Muffler Men are a recognized category of oversized fiberglass advertising statues, originally produced for gas stations, tire shops and other roadside businesses starting in the 1960s. A visitor account notes that White's Tire's other store location has (or had) an even larger version of the figure.
