  1. I did what I could to enlarge the dash and the badge. Using a magnifying class I believe the badge reads "3.1 V-8 F1". You can change your decision again. I don't mind...
  2. I'm not laughing. Thrilled that a zombie was able to provide useful information on one of my mystery vehicles. Appreciate the reply.
  3. Fire engines that are motorized, hand or horse drawn. Comments and questions are welcomed.

    New Albany IN - Engine 1 1940 IH/Howe 500 GPM The custom cab on this engine certainly makes for an unusual piece of apparatus. Howe Fire Apparatus was located in Anderson, Indiana.

  5. Hello all, Looks like the Chief in Montclair has a new ride. No doubt he knows something about it but unfortunately I have zero information. Trying to learn the year, make and model of this 100+ year old beauty. Look forward to your comments. Cheers, Steve

    Johnson City TN Engine 6 1972 American LaFrance 1250 GPM - 750 Tank I've always been a fan of the American LaFrance Pioneer series apparatus. This particular engine is one of my favorites. I really liked the extended front bumper with the extinguishers, nozzles and bell mounted on it. This engine was new when I was at Johnson City. Hard to believe that this photo is more than 50 years old!
  7. Hi, I didn't realize I had posted this photo before. Guess I really want it identified. Using a loupe I can see that there is an LTD emblem on the roof pillar. So, anything distinctive between a 1976 and a 1977? Sure do want to know. Thanks, Steve
  8. Hi, For once I actually know what the car that is in the photo is, for the most part. There has been some debate among the members of the firefighting community as to whether this is a 1976 or 1977 Ford LTD. Can anyone narrow down the year? This is a quote from one of the group members that may be of assistance "Looks like probably a '77 LTD due to body color painted (as opposed to silver) bumper filler panels". As always, I look forward to the replies. Have a good night. Steve

    Cincinnati OH - Engine 14 1941 Autocar/U.S. Fire Apparatus 750 GPM - 100 Tank Shop #25161 This pumper entered service on December 30, 1941. In 1945 it was reassigned to Engine 25 as it was reportedly difficult to steer making it hard to negotiate the streets and alleys Downtown and in the West End. U.S. Fire Apparatus was originally located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania but moved to Wilmington, Delaware where most of their apparatus was constructed. The vast majority of fire engines constructed by U.S.F.A. were built using Autocar truck chassis. Do you like old fire engines? Me too!

  10. As always, thank you for your comments.

    Williamson WV Engine 3 1951 Seagrave 750 GPM - 300 Tank #F 3150 Model: 66 EB This was the last year of this front end styling for Seagrave. The Williamson Fire Dept. didn't have an aerial truck on it's apparatus roster so additional ground ladders were carried on this engine.

  14. Hi, Trying to get this identified for a friend. Seeking my standard info of year, make and model. Only 1 week to identify this before we sleep for 3 days after eating way too much turkey... Thanks, Steve
  15. Hi There, I haven't seen a great many fire engines built on Selden chassis. Is there any way to pin down a year on this Pacemaker? Mid to late 1920's? Howe Fire Apparatus body for a town where the buzzards always come back to! Thanks, Steve
  16. Hi, Pretty obvious what this vehicle is. What I would like to know is if anyone can identify the year of production and the model. Thanks... Steve Photo from the MidPointe Digital Archives
  17. Hi, No doubt from the replies and that hub cap photo that the photo I posted is of a Packard. What I would now like to learn is there any possibility that this is the 1907 Packard that has been cut down to the version shown in the first photo?
  18. Cincinnati purchased the following Buicks: 1915 Runabout; two 1918 Roadsters; and two 1919 model K-44's. Any chance that the photo can be identified as one of those? Thanks...
  19. The fellow standing in front of the car was an officer with the CFD. Wish I knew more about why the photo was taken.
  20. Okay, so I dug out a photo of the Cincinnati Packard. I had the year wrong in my previous post. This was placed in service of May 5, 1907. There are certainly some similarities between the two photos. Was the original car cut down to make the runabout shown in the first photo?
  21. Interesting that you said Packard. When this photo was sent to me it was identified as a 1912 Packard. The problem with that is that according to the official Fire Department log book of vehicles owned there wasn't a 1912 Packard owned by the Department. Cincinnati had a 1909 Packard but it was a 7 passenger, 4-door model. Look forward to more input.
  22. Looks like it was steaming when the photo was taken. Neat!
  23. Hi, I really like this car, but I wish the guy had sat down so that there was more to see! Anyway, another mystery courtesy of the Cincinnati Fire Dept. Really anxious to learn what this is. Thanks for all of the assistance. Steve
  24. Hi Gang, As usual I'm clueless, which is why I value this site so much. Here we have a 100 year old Chief's car from Cincinnati. At first I thought this was the 1921 Reo that CFD had but it doesn't match the photo I have of that car. CFD purchased 4 Reo's in 1922, could this be one of them? Help! Steve
  25. Hi, A real beauty or the person who was most likely the Chief in White Plains, New York. As always I would like to know the make, model and year on this classic auto. Thanks, Steve
