The truck is fitted with headlights and taillights, as well as a spot light, though none of the exterior lights are currently hooked up.Ī selection of vintage firefighting equipment has been retained, including ladders, axes, bells, feed hoses, a brass fire extinguisher, pressure tank, and more. The truck is finished in the livery of the Fort Atkinson fire department, with gold painted lettering and striping. The seller reports that the truck was repainted due to fading shortly after his father acquired it around 1970. This fire truck is offered with a selection of period firefighting equipment, documentation from American LaFrance, other period books, and a clean Wisconsin title in the seller’s name. The truck has been driven in parades in the years since.
The seller’s father was a full-time fireman in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin, and refinished the truck in his station’s livery shortly after his acquisition. This 1921 American LaFrance Type 39 Triple Combination Pumper was originally shipped from American LaFrance in Elmira, New York to Platteville, Wisconsin on December 29, 1921, and was acquired by the seller’s father in 1970.
