Vehicle Description
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.
