I don't suppose a Muffler Man would go over too well here, eh?
There don't currently seem to be any in Detroit.
Instead of a muffler he could hold a catalytic converter in one hand and a sawzall in the other. ;)

Laughing my ass off...I remember either my first post or one of my firsts on this forum back in 07 or 08 was about the exact same subject. I've matured since then. We don't need a statue. We need jobs. Decent school system. Businesses. People. Efficient city government. Low crime and fast police/fire response.
What about a statue of a large Model T?
Now I think Detroit is recognized for the Spirit of Detroit statue and it should be included in advertisements more than it has been.
Yes, these four statues by Julius Melchers had been on the top of the old city hall. They were removed before the demo, stored for some time at Fort Wayne and then found a new home on the Wayne State campus. The statues were a gift to the city from Bela Hubbard who commissioned them when the city hall was first built. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julius_Theodore_Melchers

"You could never do this with the Statue of Liberty!"
She takes a larger size and more form fitting.
Detroit has tons and tons and tons of public art in the parks and boulevard medians. It's all over the place.
Plus we have some very successful pieces of public art like the Spirit of Detroit, Dodge Fountain, and the Joe Louis Fist. We also have other public art that's not as well known to the public but is done by notable artists.
The rest is mostly just random public art because it seems like every organization out there wants to change Detroit, and all they can think to do is donate a piece of public art to the city.
I'd say we need less public art, and more high quality public spaces to display the art.
We like your idea of erecting a giant statue in the city of Detroit and second the motion, Strong! - The Birds
