Antique in Distress
When a car’s nearly 90 years old, you don’t just throw straps on it and hit the road. You stop. You think. And you adjust. That’s exactly what we did when we got the call for a vintage vehicle towing job in Acworth involving a 1936 Packard with brake failure. The customer had already been waiting several hours at a gas station when they finally reached out to us. We knew the car’s value wasn’t just in dollars, but in memory, history, and craftsmanship. That meant our window to earn trust was short, and the margin for error was even shorter.
The Brakes Failed. The Wait Dragged On.
Imagine sitting in the Georgia heat beside a classic car with no brakes, watching other tow trucks pass you by. That’s where our customers were when they called us. The Packard, in all its white elegance, had lost braking power and was stuck at a gas station.
We dispatched Brad immediately. He arrived within the hour. From the moment he pulled up, he was in awe of the pristine condition of this timeless classic.
Not Just Towing, But Handling History
Getting a vehicle like this onto a flatbed isn’t the same as moving a late-model SUV from a shoulder. Vintage recovery demands a slower approach, a steadier hand, and attention to detail.
Brad carefully positioned the truck and used soft tie-down straps for loading. Chains or metal hooks were out of the question. We don’t risk damage to antique trim or original frame components. And the customer noticed Brad’s mindful approach. They mentioned the care Brad took: the angle of the approach, the time he spent getting the placement just right. The absence of scratches or stress marks afterward wasn’t mere luck but the result of patience and years of hands-on experience. That’s the level of attention Acworth vintage vehicle towing demands. Every time.
A Truck, a Classic, and the Right Man for the Job
Brad secured the Packard and brought it up the flatbed with a clean, controlled pull. Every curve, every bit of chrome, every line stayed just as it had rolled out in 1936. The customers told us they were relieved. They said paying out of pocket for Patriot Towing Services felt worth it after seeing how carefully the job was done.
That matters to us. We know insurance doesn’t always cover these kinds of tows. But we also know you can’t put a price on the right kind of care for a vehicle with this much history.
