The times I had to use them, they asked me how to hook up. The last guy called his boss and asked if it was O.K. to take such an old car. He took me much farther than my miles allowed, but he didn't charge because he got such a thrill and said he could go back to the garage and brag that he had hauled the oldest car. They even helped me push it in to my garage.
Funny, as the last time I had to use them the driver came by to say he had a quick job to do and he would be right back within 1/2 hour. He ask what car I needed to have towed and I pointed to the A. He said "I thought they were kidding, the hell with the other job". He radioed base and told them they needed to find someone else for the short job.
