The Attleboro family-owned company’s 2017 Peterbilt heavy-duty chassis with a 9055 Century wrecker body stood out among hundreds of entries received from around the U.S. and Canada.??

The tow truck’s blue and purple wave vinyl wrap and paint graphic got the thumbs up from fellow towing company owners and operators who voted it the People’s Choice in the 26th Annual Shine ‘n Star Tow Truck Photo Beauty Contest, powered by Ford Trucks.

“It’s nice to win. It’s always nice to win,” says the truck’s driver Mike Horan, who entered the heavy-duty vehicle in the Shine ‘n Star contest. “It turns a lot of heads when you come down the road with it.”

Fred DeLuca, general manager of the tow company that’s been in operation nearly 40 years, adds,?? “We used to have a purple splash on the side of the trucks then it got kind of dated.” The company modernized the design with this winner. “People recognize the truck and it adds a little pizzazz.”
