One of the most unique Uniroyal Gals can be found in Blackfoot, Idaho, standing proudly outside Martha’s Cafe. She’s been a Blackfoot resident for decades and has gone through more than one makeover. Once known for “flaunting her wares” in a bikini, the fiberglass waitress was later given a more modest look — complete with a big, sparkling diamond ring on her finger. Today, she’s less pin-up and more hometown waitress, reflecting the character of the family-run diner she represents.

Martha’s Cafe itself is a local institution, known for its hearty, old-fashioned meals and friendly small-town atmosphere. It’s a favorite stop for both locals and road-trippers passing through town. Travelers can grab a bite and then walk a few blocks north to visit the Idaho Potato Museum, making it a perfect quirky roadside combo stop.

Not every Uniroyal Gal’s journey has been straightforward, and few have a story as colorful as Tootsie. Originally, she stood in Downer’s Grove, Illinois, until her owner retired and brought her along to Florida. After his passing, the Gal was inherited by his son, who eventually sold her in 2013 to Tom Edmunds for just $500.

For a while, Tootsie didn’t get much attention. She lay on a transport trailer behind Tom’s sheet metal fabricating shop, her blonde hair and polka-dot bikini fading in the hot Florida sun. In 2015, she was finally put up on display — only to be taken back down two years later when Hurricane Irma threatened the area.

This fiberglass giantess had stood outside Werbany Tire Town since 1965, when Ed’s father bought her for just $300. Back then, she resembled the familiar “Jackie Kennedy”–style Gal, dressed in a turquoise skirt and green top, and affectionately known to locals as “The Doll.” She always held a tire, making her the perfect roadside advertisement for the family’s business.

By 2007, however, Ed Jr. sensed it was time for a makeover. With superhero movies on the rise and Wonder Woman rumored to return to the big screen, he decided to get ahead of the trend. In July of that year, he hired artists Karen Baxter and Linda M. Shelley to reimagine the 18-foot-tall figure as Nitro Girl — a superhero-inspired roadside icon.

One of the most enduring Uniroyal Gals is Suzibelle, who has called Omaha, Nebraska home since the 1960s. Like many fiberglass giants, however, her story includes years of being out of sight. For three decades, Suzibelle was kept in storage, away from the public eye.

In 2024, she was finally restored, bringing her back to life as a piece of roadside Americana. Today, Suzibelle isn’t always standing out in the open. Instead, she’s kept in a separate garage — but the owner or manager is known to happily unlock the doors for curious visitors, even encouraging photos.

Like many Uniroyal Gals and Muffler Men, this fiberglass giantess has lived more than one life. She began her journey as a classic Gal before taking on a series of makeovers that reflected the places she called home.

For a time, she stood at Huber’s Farm in Kingsville, Maryland, where she was part of the hayride adventure. Families on the tractor ride would pass by her, and to make her even more memorable, the farm actually made real clothes for her to wear — giving her a seasonal, interactive flair.

The statue was commissioned by Nick Beckteshi, owner of the Country Aire Restaurant, after he noticed the steady stream of tourists visiting the nearby museum. Wanting to give visitors another reason to stop, he decided to install a giant of his own — one with a personal twist.

The Gal was named after Nick’s wife, Lumi, an accomplished baker who once won Grand Champion honors at the Illinois State Fair for her pies. Inspired by her achievement, the giant was designed to carry a fresh-baked apple pie in one hand while holding an order pad in the other.

In the tiny desert community of Pearsonville, California, a towering fiberglass woman with a classic blonde flip hairdo still keeps watch over what was once dubbed the “Hubcap Capital of the World.” She isn’t tied to any active business today, but she’s an unforgettable roadside sight just the same.

The Gal stands near the remnants of Pearsonville’s heyday, when hubcaps were collected, sold, and displayed in massive numbers. While the town itself has faded into ghost town status, the giant figure remains — fenced off but still visible as of 2021.

If you’re traveling through Bolton, North Carolina, keep an eye on the roadside — you may just spot a fiberglass wonderland. Known as Grahamland Fiberglass, this unique property is home to more than 250 fiberglass animals and giant figures, making it one of the largest private collections of its kind in the U.S.

Among the dinosaurs, animals, and whimsical creations, you’ll also find three Uniroyal Gals. These were created using molds from an original Gal near Rocky Mount, ensuring they capture the authentic look and feel of the roadside queens from the 1960s.

One of the more unusual Uniroyal Gals you can visit today is JoLean, a classic “Jackie Kennedy”–style fiberglass giantess with a long history of travel and transformation.

She originally stood in Kentucky, before being moved to Ohio, where she spent years lying neglected in a backyard. Purchased at one point for just $150, she might have faded away completely if not for friends of a Michigan business owner who recognized her potential. In 2021, she was fully restored and given a second life as the outdoor mascot of Leelanau County’s first marijuana dispensary.

In the west Texas town of Lamesa, a rare Uniroyal Gal stands proudly with her signature 1960s flip hairdo. Unlike most of her fiberglass sisters, this Gal has been customized to reflect the spirit of the community — she’s dressed as a Golden Tornadoes cheerleader, complete with the team’s two-fisted cartoon twister mascot emblazoned across her chest.

Lamesa might not be a hotbed for tornado activity, but that hasn’t stopped the town from embracing the theme. The local high school sports teams proudly play as the Golden Tornadoes at Golden Tornado Stadium, and their fiberglass cheerleader adds a perfect roadside twist to this hometown pride.

Standing 17 feet tall along Washington Avenue, Vanna Whitewall is one of the rare surviving Uniroyal Gals from the 1960s. She first arrived in Peoria in 1968, and like many of her fiberglass sisters, she has gone through a few wardrobe changes over the years.

Originally displayed in a bikini, Vanna later switched to a more conservative mini-skirt and blouse before returning to her bright red bikini once again. Unlike some roadside statues that stir controversy, the Peoria community embraced her look with no objections — a red bikini here simply meant “no heat.”

In Longview, Texas, a female Muffler Man — or rather, a Uniroyal Gal — stands proudly at the entrance of American RV Restoration. Affectionately known as Big Amanda, she’s more than just a fiberglass figure; she’s part of the new generation of Uniroyal Gals, continuing the legacy of these roadside queens well into the 21st century.

While the original Gals of the 1960s were tied to tire shops and car dealerships, Big Amanda has taken on a modern role as the mascot of an RV restoration business. It’s a fitting pairing: RV owners are often road-trippers at heart, and what better way to celebrate the open road than with a fiberglass giantess watching over the property?
