.....and it's a real gem! I wasn't going after 1/16s when these were new and REALLY REGRET not scoping up a few. HW61 produced some outstanding vintage, period-correct 1/16 wreckers.

Years ago, I modified Yat-ming's 1/18 facetious (totally made-up design) 1953 Ford wrecker best I could. I'm still not happy with it. ๐Ÿ˜ซ ๐Ÿ˜ช ๐Ÿ˜ฃย 

The good news is that Greenlight is just now beginning to release fairly accurate (and working) 1/18 late '60's, early '70's Chevrolet & GMC wreckers. Everything opens but the hood (easy fix! ๐Ÿ˜‰ ๐Ÿ˜‰).ย 

Watch for several different liveries to be rolled out during the next few months.

Highway 61 did a fine job with the International Harvester 1/16th series, including this great tow truck.
