Tugboat Annie – A Vintage Tow Truck from the Streamlined Era

Tugboat Annie – A Vintage Tow Truck from the Streamlined Era | The Old Motor

Miller Motors was a DeSoto and Plymouth Distributor an hour and a half SW of Minneapolis, located in Mankato, MN. The management was wise enough to have an eye-catching tow truck built that served as a rolling billboard for the firm. “Tugboat Annie,” built in 1937 on a cab-over-engine International truck chassis and was apparently constructed by a truck body builder.
Update – Reader Michael Leicher has informed us that “Tugboat Annie” was built at a body shop in Sleepy Eye, MN (40-miles west of Mankato) that was run by a friends family. The shop also built similar trucks for breweries in the area.

Tinindian is correct, it was the Ebenhoh Body Shop in Sleepy Eye MN that built it. Joe Ebenhoh is a friend and his family owned the shop. He has a book with pictures of similar vehicles that they have built. I am trying to get him to scan them for me. He currently owns a body shop in Plymouth MN.
