Handmade Vintage Tow Truck Model

Necessity is the mother of invention, as Ernest Holmes Sr., of Chattanooga, Tennessee found in 1916 when he had to use ropes, blocks, and six men to pull a car out from a creek. Two years later, he patented the first ever tow truck. Our vintage Truck & Trailer tow truck model from Muncie, Indiana is expertly handmade out of iron and stands at 5.25 inches high and 12 inches wide. Its intricate details include rolling wheels, exposed engine compartment, crane system, chains, front grill, headlights, side mirrors, taillights, and more. Gorgeous retro coloring and a Truck & Trailer logo on the doors completes the look of the era.
