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

Speed and big damn engines... the focus of the Hydroplane and Raceboats Museum

From the days of $300 Allison engines, river races, and buddies who could field a competitive enterprise for weekend fun without going broke

You can check out the post at http://www.ewillys.com/2015/04/01/hyrdroplane-and-raceboat-museum/#more-201484 or if you want to dive into more about the boats, see http://www.lesliefield.com/default_frame.htm and click on the upper left link twice to get to the individual boats.

Or watch the movie "Madison" which was really good and starred Jim Caviezel and Bruce Dern. Story of a Indiana town that owned a hydroplane, and once was a significant part of Hydroplane racing history. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0206113/

I just learned of the Army Medical Department Museum, at Fort Sam Houston, San Antonio Texas

Vehicles, including field ambulances, hospital trains and aircraft showing the history of medical evacuation and treatment of the wounded in transit from 1775 to present.

The original U.S. Army Medical Museum was founded as a research facility in Washington, D.C., in 1862. Today, the institution is known as the National Museum of Health and Medicine of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. In 1920, our Museum was re-established at Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania, with the Medical Field Service School. In 1946, the School and Museum were transferred to Fort Sam Houston, Texas. In 1955, the Museum received its designation as the U.S. Army Medical Department Museum from the Surgeon General of the Army.

The details of how the wounded were moved, from horse drawn wagons, then trains, through Jeeps to helicopters are very well presented along with genuine examples of many types of military ambulance transportation. Included is a hospital railroad car built in the 1950s and actively used in Korea. This car, which is remarkably well preserved, represents the final evolution of military medical transportation by rail. By the 1960s just about all injured troops were being moved by specially equipped road vehicles, helicopters and jet airliners.

The Snowmobile Museum I just learned of, in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan

All eras from the 1940s to the 1980s are represented. There are even two snow cycles manufactured by major car companies, Porsche and Chrysler. Porsche’s Ski-Bob snow bike was apparently a limited edition vehicle intended for ski slope rescues. Chrysler’s foray into snow motorcycles was much more intense, as they built a snow cycle in the late 1970s powered by their own 2-stroke racing kart engine in an attempt to market snow motorcycles on a major scale. After converting part of a Chrysler Outboard plant in Wisconsin into a full-fledged assembly line, Chrysler built a reported 28,000 Sno-Runners from 1979 to 1982 before halting production. This undoubtedly was the largest volume production of snow motorcycles in history.
