Uniroyal Gal - Peoria
The Uniroyal Gal stand in front of the Peoria Plaza Tire ( Uniroyal Tire Shop) in Peoria.
The female version of the Muffler Man is very rare to find.
All over the United States there are nearly a dozen.
This gal changes clothes depends on the season. In summers she wears a red bikini in winter she gets a shirt and a skirt.
We visited the Uniroyal Gal in September 2019.
Locals call her Vanna Whitewall. She is 17,5 feet tall an weights around 450 pounds.
The big girl has been a local landmark since the 1960s and has even survived a car crash.
She was made by the International Fiberglass Company for the Uniroyal Tire Company.
We parked in a parking lot further down the street, in front oft the Gal is parking not permitted.
