For Sale at Auction: 1941 Ford Fire Truck in Scottsdale, Arizona

This custom 1941 Ford Fire Truck toy hauler is powered by its matching-number 239ci Flathead V8 engine with only 8,829 miles (title reads exempt), mated to the original 4-speed manual transmission and cooled by an aluminum radiator. This customized motorcycle hauler was purchased several years ago from the Marshall Goldman Collection but was ordered new by the Clarksville Georgia Fire Department in 1941. Now converted to a toy hauler and in pristine condition, it is finished in black over black. This piece of prewar history features a Howe fire apparatus body, while retaining all its original firefighting equipment, such as its Sterling Sirenlite horn on the fender, some up-to-date gauges, vintage fire extinguishers, tools and a wooden axe on the bed. The water tank was removed in favor of an Easy-Extend ramp and deck for hauling a motorcycle, such as the vintage Indian prop included with the purchase. This vintage Ford also has the original Flathead engine dressed up in bright red paint to match the accessories. It was detailed with chrome head nuts, chrome water pipes and a chrome air cleaner. The interior is upholstered in black vinyl with red piping and an embroidered Indian motorcycle logo. The body and cab are in excellent condition and the deep black paint looks great against the chrome trim and red accessories. This fire truck was featured in an article by Ford, in which they called it "the coolest motorcycle hauler" they have seen and "the cream of the proverbial crop." This truck is rolling on Power King tires and black steel wheels with red outer rings.
