"Charming American work vehicle that attracts a lot of attention wherever it goes."

Description

A former fire truck that has been converted into a truck. From the research we have done, our assessment is that the vehicle was sold in Sweden and originally registered as a fire truck in the fall of 1957. The low mileage is uncertain, but not improbable since the vehicle was registered as a fire truck. The vehicle is in good working condition. Repainted several years ago, likely when it was converted into a truck. The paint is a bit bubbly in some places, but it has a good shine in the red paint. The vehicle is largely original. However, the passenger seat has been replaced (see pictures).

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The six-cylinder engine sounds really sprightly and the gears shift as they should. The brakes have been recently refurbished, but the car has been stationary for a while, so a lubrication and adjustment might be in order. The handbrake is weak but this is likely just a matter of adjustment. All technical functions are in order.

  • Interior condition:

    Fine interior that, however, needs refreshing. The passenger seat is not original but has been taken from a bus. There are two small rust holes in the floor at the front near the doors that need to be addressed. The same on both sides of the car (see picture). Beautiful, fine instrumentation.

  • Exterior condition:

    A nice exterior condition. There are a few minor blemishes in the paint. Some bubbling from previous painting and a few minor scuff marks. However, this is somewhat expected with a work vehicle. Everything we can see underneath is free from rust. Beams, bed, etc. are in good condition. All lighting is functional. One key for the ignition lock. It is uncertain if this key fits the door locks, which were sticking during testing. There are three small holes in each door where fire department badges were previously mounted. Perhaps it is possible to find something equivalent to install there.

  • General condition:

    A lovely classic that gives a really nice overall impression. With a little time and effort, this will be a car that draws a lot of attention.

Owner's comment

A car that attracts a lot of attention. Many people come up and want to look and talk when I'm out driving the car. It might be a crowd-puller for some business or a utility vehicle for you if you need to carry heavy loads.
