Gear up for roadside nostalgia with our Ernest Holmes Company Tennessee Car Towing T-shirt!
This vintage-inspired tee celebrates the Ernest Holmes Company, a real and significant player in the history of tow truck manufacturing. Founded in Chattanooga, Tennessee in 1919, the Ernest Holmes Company pioneered the development of the modern tow truck and became a leader in the industry for decades.
Ernest Holmes Sr. invented the first successful towing mechanism after struggling to pull a car out of a creek using blocks, ropes, and six men. His innovation revolutionized vehicle recovery and laid the foundation for the towing industry as we know it today. The company's wreckers, with their distinctive design and robust build, became a common sight on American roads throughout the 20th century.
