7' tall statue of the Michelin Man located at the front driveway to the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green. Bibendum (his real name!) was a gift from the folks at Michelin to the Corvette Museum.
Michelin tires have been a standard on Corvettes for decades.
The iconic Michelin Man traces his French roots to 1898 and his North American roots to 1907, when Michelin first set up a shop in New Jersey.
