I did not know that , I drove a 440 and 1502 back in the mid 70s , and alway thought the 1502 was the only electric model made by holmes it was a nice little unit for winching out cars in tight spots.

I thought the 220 was the slide-in unit for pickups

My dad ran a wrecker like the c50 back when I was a kid. I think his was a c60, though. Never saw it pull a wheelie like that, but watched him do some pretty sketchy stuff with it. I used to ride along on snow days when school was cancelled. His was red just like the one in the pic. Good memories.
