Vehicle Description
This 1949 Dodge Power Wagon, known as "Engine Forty-Nine,"
underwent a frame-off restoration and is powered by a 6-cylinder
engine backed by a 4-speed manual transmission. It features its
original Coast Manufacturers fire body and is No. 609. Originally
outfitted in Concord, CA, it fought for the Benicia, CA, Fire
Department for more than 20 years until the department was
disbanded. During its service with the fire department, the truck
was repainted yellow as the color scheme changed. After it was
retired, it entered private service on a ranch in Benicia. From the
Cars of Dreams Collection.
