A totally restored 1937 COE 1 ½ ton on a 131” wheel base truck with attached Holmes #485 tow body from the late 1920’s. Most unusual about this Holmes #485 is the original hand crank system for lifting the cars for towing. There is no PTO on the transmission. This rig was operated by a driver with more muscle than the average person. It was an unusual operator that could crank this rig beyond 50 years old.

The owner is John Kesey from McMillan, Michigan. Email: keskeyj@yahoo.com
