It really does look like it's in decent condition! The paint has maybe seen better days, but I imagine that it could still do its fair share of work! I'm sure out in places like that it could be used a lot! http://www.marvsqualitytowing.com/services.html

I agree with you guys, that is such a great looking tow truck. I bet that it doesn't run, and if it did, it wouldn't have the power to pull another car. This brings back so many memories of my childhood. My dad used to own a towing company out in the desert like this.http://www.bigcityscrapcartowing.ca

A tow truck that needs to be towed, a fine image Cindy.

Who looks after the Doctors! who tows the breakdown truck. Would love to drive a working one of these -

Great shot Cindy. I too like these old rusted remnants; I find it interesting though that the tires still have air in them.

That's a real beauty! Has a toy-like quality to it.

Reminds me of Tow Mater from "Cars".
Yeah, showing I have a younger child...
High quality, very sharp image, Cindy!

Thank you Terry, Hal, Lennart, Jim and Jeff. I appreciate your comments. I really do enjoy photographing these rusting hulks.

Do you need a lift Cindy! :)

I can just imagine all the vehicles this old boy has towed, and now it sits here as if it had been towed and left for time. Very nice reflective image, Cindy!

From Vegas to this vintage tow truck! That is our civilization in a nut shell! You have posted some interesting philosophical pictures Cindy that I love! This is also - as you can understand - in my eyes a great shot! Love these torn down worn down vehicles!

Terry expressed my thoughts exactly. The wheels are still inflated,
even the large side mirror is still in place. Looks like one could
slam down the hood and drive off..... but likely been there for years !
Good photo, Cindy.

Still almost looks functional. I like the bird on the cable :)
I wonder how long the truck has been sitting there.
