This is one of the "Muffler Man" fiberglass statues that has seen a few different locations and looks.
Tall Paul was located in Cicero, Illinois along Ogden Ave. for many years in front of Bunyon's. When Bunyon's closed the owners were offered as much as $10,000 but decided to "permanently loan" it to the City of Atlana to display in their Rt.66 Heritage Exhibit. Tall Paul is accessible 24 hours a day.
While in Atalnta, take the time to visit the museum just a block to the south and also check out the murals around the corner.
