Chosen out of 550 entries submitted over five categories, the truck from the Batavia business was cobbled together out of five different trucks, including a 1981 fire truck headed to the junkyard, and the appearance was altered to look more aerodynamic.































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































Everything was painted and designed in-house.































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































The colors painted on the tow truck — turquoise, purple and silver — were the original palette when the business started 60 years ago. Different paint schemes were tried out, and according to Elaina Dickinson, one of the owners of the family-owned business, she and her father Mark Dickinson, another owner, painted as they went along.
