Did Michelin Man Used to Wear Glasses?

Factual Questions
1

I saw on a poster about image awareness that the Michelin Man used to wear glasses until advertisers forced him to stop using them because he looked to smart, and didn’t make him look sexy enough, so is this true?

Did the Michelin Man ever wear glasses?

I wonder if they were goggles? They were common in open topped cars.
