Know Before You Go
To make the most of your visit to the Muffler Men Cutouts (Giants Display) in Calumet, Oklahoma, here are some things to know before you go.
Where can you find the muffler man cutouts in Oklahoma?
This mural is located at 10000 E 1020 Rd in Calumet, Oklahoma right on Route 66. If taking I-40, exit at Exit 115, drive north on US-270 about half a mile, turn right onto historic US-66/E1020 Rd, then drive about 1.5 miles east to the display site on the right.
Is there parking?
While there is no designated parking you can pull off the side of the road tro view this roadside attraction. It is located along E 1020 Rd (part of old US 66), so you’ll want to pull safely off the road, park off‐pavement if possible, and be mindful of traffic (especially since it’s rural and might not have big turnout areas).
What is a muffler man? What other muffler men can you find on Route 66?
Muffler Man is the nickname given to a series of giant fiberglass advertising figures—usually between 18 and 25 feet tall—that popped up along America’s highways in the 1960s. Originally created by International Fiberglass in California, these oversized icons were built to grab the attention of passing motorists.
You’ll find several of these towering legends standing tall along the Mother Road from Illinois to California. Each one has its own name, theme, and story. Find a full list of Route 66 Muffler Men here.
Is this a popular Route 66 attraction?
With its more remote location, this mural is easy to miss and, therefore, not as popular as some of the other true muffler men on Route 66. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t worth driving to see! Giants Display is one of our picks for 66 Route 66 Attractions Worth Pulling Over For.
