Another boring old story from the old days
I had a big old tow truck that I used to tow and scrap cars. I needed to get a truck and a VW beetle to the scrapper. The tow truck was a twin boom. I would always tow two at one time. This day when I got to the scrap yard as I was entering the scale I looked back and the VW was gone. I rushed back the way I came looking for it.
I couldn't find it. As going through the city there was cars lined up at a red light. I went 6 miles back to where I remembered seeing it on the truck, No luck , So I turned around and headed back to the scrap yard. When I got to the city I saw a bunch of people where those cars were lined up at the red light. They were staring down the road .
There it was wheels up on its roof parked perfect as if someone put it there between two parked cars. One of the people standing there said it slid in there spinning and kept spinning for a while like a fan blade.
We drug it on the truck and were ready to pull out and the police pulled in. He made us sweep glass the whole block while he watched. We had to find all the owners of the cars and asked them to move. We would haul two at one time quite often . My wife took this picture when we pulled in for lunch one day. If you would get caught doing this today You would go to prison
I sold the blue 53 not long ago. The last picture is of it leaving. I owned many old tow trucks back in the day. We would go out with two at one time. That 56 had a 327 installed. Every one wanted to drive that one.
I can tell you all some stories with pictures of stupid things we did that would put you all on your knees laughing.
