THE 80'S PT7

Still in the 80's...
The scene outside of Tony's Garage shows several vehicles from the 70's and 80's, as well as the fact that the storage unit was still two decades away.

The Cadillac Seville seen earlier is parked on the street. Meanwhile, notice the green Porsche 928 in the lot. Even in the 80's, exotic sports cars could be found at Tony's!

No, it's not an emergency! The city ambulance is in for some engine work; the city's mechanics are backed up so Tony's doing the work for a reduced rate. You never know, he might one day wind up in the back if it himself! (Hopefully not, though!)

One of the other tow trucks in town was this one, from Greg's Garage. Unfortunately, Greg was forced to declare bankruptcy and shut down after a fight with cancer. His shop merged with Tony's, and today, they still work together.
Old classic cars have always been part of the scene at Tony's, and these are no different! The Ford Model A dates back to the Great Depression, and still makes the classic car circuits today. The early 50's Buick left town with its owner during the 90's, the '56 T-Bird is now garage-kept by a new owner, and the '63 Lincoln Continental is now gone. Surprisingly, the forklift is still there -and it still runs!
