You are bidding on the exact Vintage Pressed Steel
Buddy L Tow Truck Emergency Auto Wrecker that you see in the photos. We are not experts or collectors so please see all photos & consider them as part of the description.
This is a nice Vintage, 1940's Buddy L, Yellow, Emergency Auto Wrecker Tow Truck. It is all original but it is missing the red tow bar. Great lines!!! Displays really well. Tires are original hard rubber and marked:
"BUDDY L TOYS, EAST MOLINE, ILL"
It has the original decals on both sides of the truck bed. Decals are in decent shape, not perfect but readable and mostly in tact. The inside truck bed in stamped in the metal with:
"BUDDY L COMPANY
QUALITY TOYS
EAST MOLINE, ILL
MADE IN USA OF AMERICA"
This is in good condition in our opinion but please see all photos and make your own assessment. No dings or cracks in the metal, a little wear around the slots that the tow bar would fit into. It has what we would consider minimal paint loss and very light scratching of the surface area as seen in the photos. There is some surface rust in some of the areas missing paint but again, nothing bad in our opinion. This is just a really cool truck for any display or collection!!
PLEASE SEE ALL PHOTOS!!
