1929 Packard 640 limousine tow truck
It has a three-ton Manley crane mounted to the back, which would have been plenty of hardware to tow the little Model T sedan they have parked behind it.
This is at the International Towing and Recovery Museum and Hall of Fame

Skip the first 20 seconds, then look at the drunk driver going the wrong way up an exit ramp get slammed and takes out the semi. Wrecks everyones day

You have to be vigilant friends, that is why I posted this. Please keep your self alert for any morons that aim a car your way, and freak accidents like crashes in the opposite lines that cause debris to fly over the barrier into your lanes
And now for something completely different
double enders aren't unheard of, but using a nose for an engine cover, that's new

Dragula went to Viva Las Vegas
Wow, I don't remember seeing Dragula ANYWHERE ever.

great home movie from Bangshift.com filmed at the Connecticut Dragway
EJ Potter at the 1 minute 45 second mark to the 2 minute mark,
then the Back Up Pickup goes the full length of the strip with one end in the air. Wheel standing was quite the crowd pleaser!

1st Checker I've ever seen used as a cop car, but it makes sense, for the same reason they are good taxis, they would make good cop cars

But Steve researched Checkers as cop cars, and found the following:
"New York City used Checkers as unmarked cars. Essentially they were set up as standard NYC taxicabs."
Chelsea, Massachusetts
Chicago, Illinois
Coburn, Virginia
Exeter, New Hampshire
Key West, Florida
Mackinaw City, Michigan
Medford, Massachusetts
Tallmadge, Ohio
Terrell, Texas
Toronto, Ontario
Woodlake, CA
Possibly Covina, California
Burlington, Massachusetts (auxiliary police)
Upjohn Pharmaceutical and Timken Bearing had both ordered police package Checkers as security patrol cars.
The police package remained available all the way through the end of Checker production in 1982.

damn, I'm pretty proud to see my photography used as someone's Facebook banner photo. That is a compliment!
Here is the original, and it's from the 2011 Beatnik Blowout at the Ventura County Fairgrounds http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/07/chopped-el-camino-in-gold-at-beatnik.html
