Vehicle description

1928 AHRENS-FOX FIRE TRUCK CITY OF NEW ORLEANS N O F D
THIS AHRENS FOX MODEL MS2 WAS COMPLETELY RESTORED ABOUT 30 YEARS AGO BY A RETIRED FIRE FIGHTER WHO WAS ALSO A MEMBER OF A GROUP THAT RESTORES & DISPLAYS VINTAGE FIRE EQUIPMENT. THIS UNIT HAS BEEN DISPLAYED INSIDE AT SEVERAL FACILITIES & IS STILL IN EXCELLENT VISUAL & RUNNING CONDITION. THE AHRENS FOX TRUCKS ARE CONSIDERED TO BE THE "ROLLS ROYCE" OF VINTAGE FIRE TRUCKS.
THIS EXACT UNIT WAS USED IN THE CITY OF NEW ORLEANS FROM DELIVERY IN FEBRUARY 1928 UNTIL THE LATE 1950"S. THESE 1920"S UNITS ARE PART OF THE 1ST GENERATION OF MOTORIZED APPARATUS THAT REPLACED HORSE DRAWN UNITS. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION TO VERIFY THE HISTORY.
THERE IS A SHORT VIDEO FROM THE 1950"S SHOWING THIS TRUCK RETURNING TO THE FIRE HOUSE AT CARROLTON & CLAIBORNE AVE"S. SEARCH "FIRE APPARATUS RETURNING TO QUARTERS NOFD 1958" ON YOUTUBE.
THERE IS A 2ND VIDEO OF THIS UNIT DRIVING AFTER THE RESTORATION. SEARCH " AHRENS-FOX 1928 " ALSO ON YOUTUBE TO VIEW.
