Harvey the Giant Rabbit Aloha, OR

Harvey the Giant Rabbit is 27 foot tall and stands in front of Harvey Marine, a marine supply business. The body is a mass-produced, giant fiberglass Texaco gas station attendant statue, aka a Texaco Big Friend. These statues are easily distinguishable from other Muffler Men by their face and giant hands. In 1962, the gas station took the statue to Harvey Marine for repairs but it was never picked up. The store's owner decided to turn the statue into a store mascot. He had the human head replaced with a rabbit's to transform him into Harvey, named after the rabbit in "Harvey", the Jimmy Stewart movie from 1950. The statue's original head was believed to have been destroyed but it is actually safe in a private collection. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2.
