Pink Toe Truck

[Cooter Inc !]

For years, Lincoln Towing Co.'s "Pink Toe Truck" was a landmark in Seattle. The original left foot truck was built nearly 30 years ago by the company's owner, who retired in 2000. The truck does not have doors and with its big toe, reaches a height of 11.5 feet. The truck could tow a small vehicle, but it spent most of its time on display outside Lincoln's towing yard or in local parades. A newer truck, resembling a right foot, was built in 1996. The original now calls Seattle's Museum of History and Industry its home. (Kathleen Kennedy Knies/Museum of History & Industry, Seattle.)
