    Screen grab from a 1950 movie, I don't know if it is a Red or International but the trunk added to it is nicely done. 83E4BD4F-FF9B-428F-BD6F-ED96CDAD0128_1_201_a.jpeg

    Looks like someone took the back door and maybe a bit more out of a big 4 door and moved the whole back section forward to make a wrecker out of it. It was real common back then to take a big old luxury sedan and cut the back half of the body off to make a wrecker out of it.
     
    Just Gary and VANDENPLAS like this.
  3. It looks like it will be a problem to open the trunk.

    Look closer. Only the very top of the hump opens. Not a full length trunk lid.

    Not trunk, tool carrier. Pretty neat.

    Freaking awesome. I know where I can get the wrecker stuff. The fabrication part would stop that project.

    Not tool carrier, trunk. Tools are just some of the things carried in a trunk…:D

  8. Tow coupe ? Coupe truck ? Troupe ? Coruck?
    No clue what you call it, but I call it cool.
    Would love to see more pics of it
