When viewing the Big People from FM 371, this cowboy stands at the right (north). His shirt is white, with red and white trim down the center and around the waist, and he's wearing blue pants and white shoes. He's waving with his right arm, while his left arm is down. Roadside America (see link) provides a blurb:
"Glenn told us he'd spent a year working on what might be his final Muffler Man, identical to his Cowboy Man, sans Stetson. He planned to make a new figure, but "I didn't have nobody to help me," so halfway through the project he cannibalized the molds into the torso and legs. The new M-Man stands with the rest now, a little work still needed on the shoes. Glenn made a cowboy hat for it but decided to leave it off."
Mr. Goode's will stipulated that these five Big People will be here for at least five years (through March 2020) before they could be sold off.
