Hi All

Don't know which you consider to be in the background but a friend just sent me this one that had been post on facebook by MV Mag.

Same Chevy with a heavy tow.

While the truck may be the same truck ,on the top picture it has dual wheels..on the bottom picture it has single rear wheels..
Could it be two different wreckers from the same company...??I can't see the smaller picture well enough for comparison..Nice pictures ..

I've had a good look at Woolfendens group of photos and the two Chevs have different rego numbers. One has 748LV and the other 644LV so I guess that they are different trucks.

Having said that, it might not be the case, as it seems that Wooldfendens weren't shy in swaping their number plates around. 644LV is seen on at least 3 different trucks. The Chev in question, an International and an Autocar.

Great photos though.


Regards Rick.

Hi Rick,
You can ignore those plates, 748LV and 644LV, they are General Trade Plates and were used by vehicle traders and garages to use vehicles that were currently unregistered or taxed on the road for specific duties.

Well there you go. Thanks Richard. I wondered if that was the case. They must have had a few trade plates as there are others with strange plates on them as well.

...but definitely it's the subject of the image.

Here is a link to the flickr page of Walter Woolfenden, there are some more pictures of the same Chevrolet and other cranes.

It's a great picture, but again the CMPs are the subject of the picture, not just included in the background.

Well this one then.. The foreground is the sad DAF, catches the eye, but the CMP gives the picture extra drama, as being in the background.

You're starting to get the idea, Theo, but I must say my eye went to the CMP first, and I think that was the photographer's subject too..
