A little difference between them, but it works for me.
Yet to add license plates and decals on the sides.
Remember, the first wrecker of record was a Holmes modified 1913 Cadillac. More on that sometime later.

Thx, David. Yes, he does. I have some neat models from him.

There is a replica in the Museum of Towing and Recovery in Chattanooga (pics)
The original was destroyed in a fire (I think) at the Holmes premises.
