Tow Trucks: Abschleppwagen in Amerika (D)

Trucks have always held a unique fascination: powerful multi-axle vehicles with their high-mounted exhaust pipes and gleaming chrome on the endless highways of the USA. A very special type of truck is the so-called wrecker or tow truck, three- or four-axle recovery vehicle, the epitome of pure power.

Besides the history and development of these towing giants, the book showcases extraordinary vehicles and offers a glimpse into the production halls of America's largest tow truck manufacturer. With more than 250 photos, information on technology, design, shapes and colors, engines and mechanics, as well as original and model versions, the book is a veritable treasure trove for all truck enthusiasts and model builders. 

Almost every truck is photographed from multiple angles, providing the opportunity to recreate it as a model, with no limits to the imagination.
