Description
The Gemini Giant stands outside the Launching Pad restaurant on Route 66 in Wilmingtion, Illinois. Named the Gemini Giant after the Gemini Space Program, this Muffler Man holds a silver rocket ship in his hands and wears an astronaut’s helmet that looks more like a welding mask. At 28 feet tall he was one of the many Muffler Man advertising props that could be found around the United States in the 1960s. He is most likely the only Astronaut Muffler Man.
