Brutus is a 1970 Sweptline D300 tow truck. I just got him today. I traded a used-up Mercury Sable that my mom wanted off her property straight across to a local used-car emporium for it.

Believe it or not, Brutus has only 62,000 actual miles as verified by the title. He was bought new in Show Low, AZ, and then came down to Phoenix in 2001.
