This set offers us a small car designed for roadside assistance. Mechanic has at his disposal a wrench and a hammer. The minifigure has an unusual and rare torso, because with a highway stamp. The same stamp can also be seen on the side panels of the car. On the roof, however, is a wrench stamp. You will see that roadside assistance is coming from far away. The vehicle has a small trunk, which can fit several tires. In the 80s several sets were released such as big tow truck, small mechanic building or petrol station with designated place to perform small repairs. Emergency truck from this set perfectly complements the repair possibilities and it can turn out useful while building your own city. I present below one of the presentations from original catalog, where mechanic comes at the scene with help.

Alternative constructions
Alternatives
Of course, alts could not miss in a Town series. Small set have usually 3 alternative constructions, but here we have even four! Racing car, repair truck but this time without a roof or just an ordinary convertible car. The last alternative is quite interesting - a short 6-stud car, also meant for mobile help in quick repairs. Cool ideas with just 58 bricks, brilliant thing.
