Tow Truck Coloring Page

The first tow truck was invented because a Model T got stuck in a creek. In 1916 it took six men eight hours with ropes and blocks to haul that car out of the water.

A mechanic in Chattanooga, Tennessee thought there had to be a better way. He bolted a crane with chains and pulleys onto the back of an old Cadillac, and that was the very first tow truck.
