    We have buses, trains and firetrucks, so why not.

    Even, garbage trucks. I haven't been doing my homework, lately :oops:

    It'll be fun geussing what this wreck was and if it's just brought to the collision shop or has been refused and is now heading for the yard. From here, it looks like a Caddy that happened to be ill-fatedly sandwiched between semi trucks

    This one resides at a car wash just down the hill from my house.

    It's pretty neat. Certainly is an attention geter.
    I took these photos in early spring when the car wash first opened.

    It might be too weak for pulling your '59 Ford up a hill, unless it's geared down good

    Looks like a wrecker for the San Francisco Muni trolley buses. I'm sure it's likely built from a surplus military truck, but what brand of truck? I can't make out the logo on the radator shell.
