Photo LaSalle Tow Truck Wrecker Midway Service Station Vintage Late 1930s to Early 1940s

Dimensions: 4"x5"

Subject: A fascinating historical snapshot featuring a rare 1930 LaSalle luxury automobile converted into a heavy-duty tow truck / wrecker.

Scene Background: The truck is parked directly in front of the "Midway Service" garage building. A dapper mechanic or operator wearing a traditional service cap poses proudly alongside the vehicle's heavily custom-rigged boom and winch setup.

Historical Context: During the Great Depression, converting depreciated luxury cars like LaSalles and Cadillacs into custom wreckers was a common practice among mechanics. The powerful V8 engines and long, heavy chassis provided ideal ballast and low-end torque for towing heavy vehicles.

Markings: Features original photographic margins with catalog indexing on the left side ("NOV 10 52 PROD..."), documenting its historical production use. The back of the photo includes a handwritten note identifying the vehicle as a 1930 LaSalle Tow Truck.

Type: Authentic vintage black and white production print. Second generation print.

When you buy from this store, you help a retiree support his family, stay productive, and have fun along the way.
