Patina
There were three very old wreckers parked inside a fenced yard. I was photographing them through the fence when the wrecker company owner invited me in to look around. (I was pretty sure he was going to invite me to move along.) He said he’d purchased all three trucks as one lot in an auction, but that this one was the one he really wanted. He said he liked the patina.
So did I.

Did he try to sell you one of the other two?

No! But he did tell me that he’d been contacted by the national wrecker museum about the patina truck. (And, yeah, there is such a museum, in Chattanooga: https://internationaltowingmuseum.org)

Pssst. Hey buddy.. It’d be a shame if something happened to that patina of yours. We can make sure nothing does.
Patina like that is hard-earned.

Ha! Ha! Threatening the patina doesn’t sound like an organized-crime method, but I guess you never know…!
