My dad collected and did some restoring of old cars,but alot of collecting them.
We had a couple of barns so why not try to fill them.

Get the idea.......
So many weekends we'd be off with car and trailer, pulling some hulk out of a field ,barn,or woods.This was back in the late fifties through the sixties.
The wenches he had then were from an old auto mechanic that had passed and his wife sold them to my dad.I still have most:Blue Point,Snap-On,some that are in cloth wrappings,etc.
BUT,big but....the two tools that I still use all the time and remind me of those adventures are ; a Handiman jack (Hi-Lift) and a 4 ton Come-a-long (made in Seattle).Both of these are from that early time and were THE necessity to get the job done.
Of course I learned all about leverage,rolling heavy stuff on pipes and things that made OSHA what it is today!
Just a footnote;my dad had an affection for Packards (20's) the rearends of which look like a modern day tow truck's.
And I mean a large one and no syncros in those trannies!
