Rusty Old Toys Dump Truck and Tow Truck

There was a gentleman who held a garage sale, or more accurately a "side-of-the-road" sale when Richard and I helped with the David's Ride Bicycle Ride a couple of weeks ago. During the slow period, when we were still waiting for the first rider to show up, mom walked over to the other side of the country store's parking lot, at the edge of the road, to check out the wares of this gentleman. She came back and told me that there were some great vintage items, and she suggested I go take a look at them.

As soon as I saw his vintage toy trucks, I knew I wanted to photograph them. I love the way the rusty metal photographs. The colors and texture are awesome. So, I asked him if I could move them a little, and he graciously agreed. This is his old toy dump truck.


He also had a old toy tow truck, which I fell in love with.

There was a white price tag tied onto the tow hook, and no matter how I positioned the truck, it was visible. The gentleman selling the truck not only let me play with his toys, he took the price tags off while I took the photos. Aren't these toys great?

  13. Tow trucks are used by towing companies and some auto repair companies in order to drag heavy vehicles. Generally tow trucks are more useful in roads. Since the vehicle can help generating more revenues to towing companies, the cost of the vehicle is more. Hence many companies look for tow truck financing. Tow truck Louisa va

  19. There are several Tow Truck Insurance firms out there that offer types of 24/7 roadside service insurance, that it could be difficult to make up your mind to choose which one to purchase. Sometimes, drivers like yourself tend to get careless and choose a policy which they regret taking later on. While you will discover insurance providers which promise the lowest priced Tow truck insurance quotes, you'll find companies that also have the resources to provide the buyer most abundant in affordable car insurance quotes.

  20. An important part of the construction industry, these skilled workers bring power to homes and industries nationwide. Construction electricians are an important part of the construction industry. Responsible for installing the conduits, switches, outlets, and transformers needed to bring power to a building, they combine craftsman skills with careful training in electrical theory and application. Construction electricians must undergo long apprenticeships either as a hands-on trainee under an experienced electrician, or through programs offered by professional societies and technical schools. As today's new construction integrates more and more electrical features including computerized climate controls, alarms and entertainment systems, the role of the construction electrician promises to be an ever more important element of the contracting industry.
