Beschreibung
This 1925 Ford is in the guise of a New York fire truck and represents a fascinating piece of history.
Featuring New York Fire Department livery, it comes complete with hoses, axes, ladders and bells plus additional pump. It is in good all-round condition and fully functional (excluding pump).
To the rear of the unit is the hose, search light and water tank with, running along the sides, a set of ladders. Additionally, a correct hickory-handled fire-fighter’s axe can be found to one side with a pike to the other. As you would expect, a large brass fire-bell is available to clear the way! Inside, the seating is in good condition chesterfield-style with the entire unit sitting proudly on artillery wheels. To the rear is an additional wheeled pump to lift water from a hydrant (believed non-functional).
Recent works includes new front tyres, an alternator and starter motor.
This entire unit was also used in Disney’s 2019 blockbuster feature film, ‘Dumbo'.
