Model History[edit | edit source]
The model was originally issued with a metal base, which was changed to plastic fairly early on.
In 2014 the GMC Wrecker was modified. The hook is now molded as part of the boom, rather than being a separate piece.
Description[edit | edit source]
- Red alert! A car is broken down in the carpool lane and traffic is getting heavy! No problem! The GMC Wrecker has the strength to tow up to 2 tons. It can haul the car to safety and prevent the freeway from coming to a complete standstill-until rush hour, that is! —From the 2010 and 2011 City Action cards
