We have the old boom truck used for the inspiration of Tow Mater in the movie Cars. We four women are restoring a corner of Old Route 66. They have bought the whole four corners going into Galena and one of the buildings (an old gas station) that was the home of Tow Mater.
We plan to try to bring our little town back to life. And the kids love Tow Mater.
