the Cadillac of tow trucks, 1915 Caddy type 51 (5 passenger car) made into a tow truck

a variety of good stuff from Go Away Garage


how cool is this old wrecker, they weren't called tow trucks when and where I grew up, they were known as wreckers. One thing I like about this one, the tire covered  front bumper was often used to push a vehicle that couldn't move under it's own power, because a lot of cars then were stick shifts, and if the starter or battery wouldn't work, all you needed was a push start.


above, a Wallis tractor


Above, a Wilkinson motorbike, and the seat! That looks comfortable!


Hard to make out, but the Moroso gold valve covers, and the wheelie bars? I think this was for drag racing


Above, a part of a Norman Rockwell. The best part.




I don't think I've ever seen a woody bus before, but it looks good!



that is the biggest fire gong, or a big train flywheel




 
the racket 4 motors must have made!


incredible kid sized trailer! Too cool!


damn cool garage shelving idea!


Yup, the dog lovers would likely be outraged at the dogs stuck in the trunk, but it's a neat photo anyway

movie "The Yellow Rolls Royce"

Shirley McClaine, George C Scott, and Art Carney

the delivery truck was very impressive to me,



A barnfind Diamond T that's been buried since 1965 among a families things in their barn brings a Bonneville connection

 Not very clearly written out on the webpage with these images is that this barnfind Diamond T was one of a few sold by the Utah dealership that was Ab Jenkins sponsor and trucking help during his Mormon Meteor II Bonneville record setting runs.


Above is from the same dealership, and since I've never posted a Diamond T tow truck, I had to do it.

and above you see the hauler on the right
