Two have a new car hauler (around 1958) slid off the road.

I've seen that photo over on tow411.net, & it showed the wrecker closer to the front of the photo, & it was a '47-'53 Chevy COE. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 2,549 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 2,549 | Go to www.tow411.net , & type in "old car carrier wreck" in search topic, for more photos of this wreck. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,733 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,733 | Yes, I saw the rest of the photos on the original site offered but since we all know what the Chev is I wondered if anyone knows what the conventional cab truck is.
My guess is still Federal, perhaps a Mack or in third place an Indiana. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 2,549 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 2,549 | Was there another Wrecker in that photo?
