This 1913 Locomobile with a Holmes Wrecker is owned by Bob Meyers Auto Parts & Wrecker Service in Owensville, Ohio. The 485 wrecker was completely bolted together from the factory. The Locomobile was built in Connecticut, and cost a whopping $6,000.00.



































This 1947 GMC "bubble nose" was found in 1988 near West Bend, Wisconsin, by George Lanser of Lanser Garage & Towing in Belgium, Wisconsin. The "bubble nose" was originally purchased by the Pabst Brewery to deliver beer, and later sold to a bus company which used it to tow their buses. The company abandoned the truck when a water pump failed and they couldn't find one to replace it. George searched for two years before he found one that could be machined to fit.
