Ward-LaFrance Model M1 Heavy Wrecker

The Series Five trucks had a very business-like front end. A whiffle tree is affixed to the chisel-shaped front bumper, and the two spares, as well as the torch set are visible through the windshield. While this particular truck is equipped with a ring mount and .50 caliber machine gun, this was not always the case.
