| A Classic (and it works!) |
Anyway, this is the fire engine at the Northwest Angle Volunteer Fire Department. It's a working fire engine. Really, it is.
I guess this would be a perfect example of "they don't make 'em like they used to!"
Thanks to Leah of The Goat's Lunch Pail for letting me be a part of Photo Finish Friday.
Oh, I love this. Thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteNeat picture. I like the old trucks.
ReplyDeleteI retired from the company that made this truck. It makes me proud to see an old truck bearing the company's name and still doing its job. Thanks for posting this.
ReplyDeleteA classic indeed! Lovely picture too!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo!
ReplyDeleteI love it. Really nice shot. A winner for sure!
ReplyDeleteA very great picture!
ReplyDeleteThey don't make ANYTHING like they used to!
:)
This truck for some reason reminds me of my childhood.;))
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend,
xoxo
FREAT picture of a moment in time that could have been 60 or so years ago...! This must ne a small place....But it sounds like you had a wonderful time!
ReplyDeleteThat should have read "GREAT"...Help...lol! Sorry about that....
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous classic! And still working! Not bad...
ReplyDeleteHey, if it works, it means people are safer in that little town.
ReplyDeleteYou cracked me up, having more fun than a person should have.
Leah, thank you and my pleasure :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ramona!
Linda, that is SO cool! I'm happy to make you happy!
Thank you, Betty. There's such a lot of character in old classics like this.
Hi Teresa and thanks!
Thanks for stopping by, lynnekovan. I know you're so busy these days getting ready for your move so I appreciate your visit!
Thank you, Dawn, and I totally agree with you.
That's cool, Zuzana! I hope you're having a lovely weekend, too.
Hi Naomi and thanks for the visit. And no worries about the typo...I make them all the time! :-) Next time we're up at The Angle, I'm going to see if I can find out exactly how old that fire truck is.
I know, Lady Fi...it's amazing that it's still working. All the parts are updated, actually...it's just the "bones" that are old, I think.
You are absolutely right, TechnoBabe. And that was a really fun trip being away from all the hustle and bustle of the "mainland".
Hi Cheryl - Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my blog. I love the old fire engine. My friend John got an old hand pump fire extinguisher from a local retired fireman. It sits behind my wood stove. It doesn't work any more, but looks pretty impressive. - Margy
ReplyDeleteHey, Margy! Glad you came by...and you should post a photo of that old hand pump fire extinguisher next to your wood stove. That would be a very cool shot.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great old fire truck, but I'm a little surprised it's still in service. If it works, though, I guess that's good enough.
ReplyDeletecool shot-
ReplyDeleteWarm Aloha & Gratitude from Honolulu!

So cool, I love seeing vintage fire trucks drive down the street. The fact that they're still running shows that a lot of love went into preserving these nostalgic vehicles.
