I think looking at how people in the old days did to fix cars, is kind of neat. It was a developing trade, still being worked out. Like if a car broke down, how do you tow it? I'm betting there weren't that many stock tow trucks. This garage seemingly made their own. I had a really hard time tracking down what this truck is, and after looking at a bunch of forums, with everyone thinking they had the answer, it turned out, they were all right.
This truck is an amalgam of at least 5 other cannibalized cars. The body, seats, hook, hood, fenders and such all came from different cars it seems. The hood doesn't reach the bottom, and has those large cut outs, the seat doesn't quite fit in there right. Fenders don't quite line up either.
I decided to remove the little dots in the darkness, they weren't adding anything to it. This building is currently gone, but before it was a garage, it was a stable (you can tell by seeing the loft above the door).
