This 19-foot tall Bunyon Giant was originally located on Route 66 in front of a hot dog stand named, "Bunyon's" in Cicero, Illinois. 

This is another "Muffler Man" statue that has been customized. It originally held an axe, but was altered to hold it's now famous hot dog when it was purchased by Bunyon's hot dog stand.

It stood at the hot dog stand for from 1965 until it closed in 2003. It was originally placed on top of the building, but was later moved to the ground in front of the front door so kids and patrons could walk through the legs to enter the business.

In 2004, the statue was donated to the Route 66 Association of Illinois. The Association dismantled the iconic statue, restored it, and moved it to downtown Atlanta, Illinois, where it continues to stand on Route 66.
