I spotted this antique tow truck parked on Short Street next to Deaton's and whipped out my camera. With that, the owner came out the side door, scowled at me, got in and drove off almost before I could get a shot of it.
I did not get a closeup look at it and have not been able to identify its make on the Web. I'd guess it is mid-late 30's vintage. Beyond that, your guess is as good as mine. Obviously, it has not been restored, but looks like it is still in working condition. I'll bet it has pulled a lot of people out of tough spots over the years. I wish I'd had time to get it from some different angles.
