I love tow trucks. I love COEs (cab over engine)... and streamlined anything are cool.. so the streamlined COE tow trucks are pretty much the peak of the genre

 This is typical of the Count de Sakhnoffsky design... he was tops in auto design in the 30's http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/09/extraordinary-designer-of-automotive.html for a gallery and info about his work

Some of the coolest dragsters, diggers, slingshots, and launches are found on ClassicDragsters.com.... what took me so long to look through it?

























See more good photos and a video of the above Jade Warrior, a 1985 motorcycle... 2 wheels qualifies as a motorcycle; http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/12/zaniest-hting-ive-seen-in-whiel-jade.html






















  





 Looks like a real TV Batmobile at the dragstrip... I wonder if the smoke out the back was hot or cold?

Thses are all from 88 pages of just one album http://www.classicdragsters.com/v/Others/ among about 4 dozen... so if I got you worked up to sit back and enjoy dragsters, get through the link, soak it up, and look into the dozens of other albums!
