American Giants Museum

The American Giants Museum appears in Marine warfare: Le Pen runs for president as John Fasman’s Route 66 stop in Atlanta, Illinois. The episode says the museum is housed in a restored former Texaco station and displays large fiberglass roadside figures from the 1960s.

The museum’s role is to turn advertising relics into commercial history. Through figures such as a giant policeman, Viking, cowboy, astronaut, mechanic, Native American figure, and hot-dog figure, it shows how Roadside Advertising Spectacle helped small businesses compete for passing drivers before chain standardization and online discovery.
