Ryan,

I love trucks, especially older ones:D. Nice group of pictures.

If only these vintage wreckers could tell a story. I've attached some photos of my 1927 TT with a Weaver hand crank wrecker - this one is an unrestored survivor.

So here is a picture of the Wrecker taken in 2008 at a "Ghost Town" near Phoenix. I took a bunch of pictures of it and kept thinking how if I had the time and the money, I would love to take it home with me (although not for sale). They also had a number of other hulks of trucks along side it.

The bodywork, paint, lettering, gold leaf, pin striping,louvers all done by the owner the late Mickey Fearon of Colonial Auto Body of Tyngsborough, Mass. I don't think there was anything that he couldn't do. This was all before computers and cut out vinyl letters removed the need for artistry. He has a nephew who has picked up the gauntlet.

How would you like this combo in your garage?

I see it is a Holmes. Did you know that Ernest Holmes built the very first in the world wrecker? Holmes Wreckers were built in Chattanooga TN and Miller Ind still builds Holmes Wreckers today. Miller Ind is the worlds largest wrecker Manf with two plants in TN, one in PA, one in England, and one in France. There is also a very good Towing Museun in Chattanooga and worth a visit when passing through Chattanooga.
