I gotta a couple of more for ya'll

I am reviving this thread with a couple of new additions.
1). this one is an antique that the LCFD ( Lake City, Fl) has hanging around the station, next I am downtown I will go and ask about it. I do not know anything about other than it is old.

2). This is under the ownership of a local State Farm agent, it is an old C-series truck, but other than that I dont know much about it.

Possibly an American-LaFrance from the late 19teens/20's.

The C Series Tilt Cab could be a 1957, or any year from 1961 thru 1986.

1958/60's had dual headlights.

I could be wrong Bill, but doesn't that style door badge/side marker light date the C series truck from the late 60's (not sure exactly, but maybe 68?) on up?

You're correct, I didn't notice the side marker lamp, first offered in 1968, used thru the end of production of whatever C Series this is.

IMHO Real fire trucks are Red. With that said, I like fire trucks too, but have never thought of owning one. Tow trucks on the other had, I would love to get one in the future. (I know, I know, slightly off topic. Still a truck tho

)

How many have you seen in Newport Beach that are white? I have lived here for the last 14 years or so and have seen exactly ZERO...
