The images of trucking and towing, unfortunately

If one were to go back to a both vibrant but innocent time, you’d find the images of Trucking. Overdrive Magazine at the time portrayed the industry as a class act, and for those who loved female beauty to enhance a rig , Overdrive kept right in step.

Of course the sponsors weren’t bashful either;

Peterbilt before the merge with Kenworth , which produced the company Paccar , had some classy pics for the back cover of most Overdrive issues:

Unfortunately the tow truck big or small , never saw this kind of attention. Which was unfortunate. Even though Overdrive featured a Wrecker of the month;March1974WreckeroftheMonth-vi (1)March1977WreckeroftheMonth-vinobody at either Overdrive or Owner/Operator ever let a Canon go loose on a tow truck with a snazzy gal.

What changes? That in our next installment.
