I was LMAO the other day, this guy hauled it to his home. This is a childhood memory for me. Who knows what this is?

 

[caveman]

Duh! He is the "Big Boy" from "Bob's." Hope he finds a good home.

 

[meateater]

That's where he went, to someones home. Why, I didnt ask. Most folks on here wouldnt know him.

 

[chefrob]

Bob's big boy... havn't seen one in years.

As a wee lad we used to go to Bob's Big Boy at least once a month. The best burgers in all of Fresno, CA! That location closed long ago but the memories live on.

I thought it was Frisch's Big Boy? At least in Ohio it is...

My dad has one of those in his back yard. That size also. He has been trying to get rid of it for years. For the right price of course.

I wonder if we can make a smoker out of him? Hmmmmmm......the posibilities.

He also had a shot in Austin powers

There is a knock off called Hi-Boy in Missouri. Looks similar with the same pose with the burger. Sort of like McDonalds/McDowells.

 

[matts]

haha, that would be cool. The options are endless on that. The fiberglass may be an issue tho.

Didn't know he came with baggage.

Yep Bob`s Big Boy been knowing him since 1962 Bellflower Ca. maybe it was Downey, Ca. anyway used it eat there all the time.

I remember Bob's Big Boy restaurants in SoCal nearly 45 years ago. I wouldn't hesitate to put him up at my place. I also wouldn't mind one of the original Jack inthe Box Drive-thru clowns...

 

[pit 4 brains]

Had one down the the street for many years and I can remember the "Big Boy" being stolen a few times...

 

[sweet chops bbq]

Closest one to me closed over a year ago. Now we have to travel 4 cities away for it. Not worth the gas for me anyways.

You will think i have fell off of my rocker but here in the south it was called Shoney's Big Boy, I belive i spelled that right, but it was a burger joint called that down south and if you could find one that has been around awhile they had the big boy out front.

It was always a treat for me and my brother to get to go there and eat, after mowing our parents yard, which was a acre and a half, and we would get paid $2.00 each. And spend it on burgers and fries.

Great post, thanks for sharing.

I did some research and here is what i found.
