Applies to either the wheel clamps themselves or the wheel clampers :thumbs:

Wheel clampers, yes. Bus alas, not the wheel clamps. I'm pretty sure those things are made by the same guys who make bridges and oil rigs. :horrified

680114 2008-06-19 01:54:00 We call them the "Denver Boot" after some obscure city or inventor from that city .

Actually the Denver boot was invented and patented in 1953 by Frank Marugg . Marugg was an inventor, a violinist with the Denver Symphony Orchestra, and a good friend to many Denver politicians and police department officials .

As such, when the police department needed a solution to a growing parking enforcement problem, the sheriff approached Marugg asking for help, and the two came up with the idea for the clamp .

Now I have a pretty good mental picture of an accordion player having dreams of some sortta instrument captivating device, but a concert violinist? Gads! He must've played that fiddle really bad!

They are Oxy-Acetylene torch-proof and they aren't likely hammered off either .

We don't see them much in SoCal . . there are too many people who would likely shoot a cop if they tried to put one on their car .

In my book the only handsome-looking utes are Fords and Holdens, and late model Toyota Hilux.

680116 2008-06-19 02:04:00 How could they possibly be gas-torch proof?


The ute in the picture is an el camino.

Wicked looking rig.
