2011 Truck Calendars Are Here

December 16, 2010

Hot off the press and ready to hang on the wall is the latest Airport Towing Tow Truck Calendar for 2011. These calendars are 100% original, featuring trucks owned and operated by Airport Towing, and photographed around the greater Seattle and Puget Sound area.

Airport Towing 2011 Calendar featuring tow trucks and antique trucks

In it’s 7th year, the calendar has primarily become well known as an antique tow truck calendar, but also features some of our heavy duty working trucks like our new 16-ton Kenworth featured in this year’s cover shot. Other working trucks captured in settings around the Pacific Northwest are our 35-ton Peterbilt tow truck and our 3-axle carrier which has a GVWR of 50,000 pounds.

Airport Towing 2011 Calendar back cover with classic antique trucks and working tow trucks

Not surprisely, the trucks that get most people excited are not the day-to-day work trucks, but the antique show trucks which makes Airport Towing’s calendar a one-of-a-kind work of art. From a classic 1925 Ford Model TT with vintage Weaver crane to a thundering 1935 hot rod set ablaze with sizzling flames these trucks all have personalies of their own.

Featured trucks include a 1935 Chevrolet truck with a Manley Wrecker set on an original wood platform, a 1933 Ford low-rider, a rare Holmes wrecker mounted on a 1937 Dodge Brothers chassis, a beautifully powder-coated 1929 Ford Model AA tow, and a soon-to-be classic Chevrolet SSR convertible truck.

The fan favorite has always been the “Rust Bucket” tow truck that sits original and unrestored on October’s pumpkin page each year. One of the new additions to this year’s display is a 1966 Ford F-350, appropriately named “B-Unit” in honor of Brian Storer who was memorialized with the complete restoration of this truck.

B-Unit is white with bold red racing stripes, flames, a checkered flag, brilliant lights, gleaming chrome stacks, artistic pin-striping, and a tough Holmes 450 wrecker unit, all created to mirror Brian’s traits and personality. Brian Storer was part of the reason Airport Towing exists, as the company was built by his father to support the family. The towing company was born when Brian was four years old and it continued on after Brian’s death at twenty-four years. Brian spent each and every year of his life in love with tow trucks. Among his passions was the desire to see this truck (which sat dusty in the back of a warehouse waiting for Brian to find some free time) restored. Truck #83 (Brian’s driver number) is complete and on display for everyone to see; both in this year’s 2011 calendar and in person at Airport Towing.

To receive a 2011 “Trucks” calendar from Airport Towing featuring antique tow trucks and brilliant photographs by Ron Storer, simply contact us by email or call by phone. For any of our beloved neighbors in the Seattle metro area, come visit us in Burien and pick up a calendar directly from our office.
