Tow trucks

Photo: Brad Bowling.

The 1913 Cadillac with a 1916 Holmes 680 is a replica of the first tow truck ever produced. This Cadillac was found in the late 1950s and taken to the Holmes factory in Chattanooga. The wrecker was fitted with an original antique wrecker setup and restored as a replica of the original tow truck. By 1990, the truck was purchased by the Pellow’s family in Minnesota and restored to what is currently on display. This model of Cadillac was typically equipped with a 4-cylinder, 30 Horsepower unit, with both magneto and battery distributors.
