Wow a true piece of American vehicle and Firefighting History!!! This is a well running and driving 1937 Dodge Brothers Fire Truck. Comes with the factory original 218CID Dodge Flathead F-6 with single barrel carburetor and 4 speed manual floor shift transmission. The car is well preserved and mostly original. The Vehicle starts right up, drives straight down the road, all the gears in the 4 speed manual double clutch transmission work and can get this gorgeous piece of Americana up to about 40 miles an hour on the road! The previous owner used this primarily as a parade vehicle, rented the truck out for photoshoots, weddings and other special events. This car is mostly original, however, has had minor modifications throughout the years like an electric fuel pump, new seat, and new decking in the rear. We have not tested the water pump, but the previous owner has told us that it is not operable due to a crack in the housing. The water pump apparatus is sold in as-is condition. This vehicle can be enjoyed in its current state with the original patina, or you can make the investment and have this professionally restored. Comes with a box of extra parts including, original ladders, a spare transmission/shift mechanism, fire hoses, original 1930's tools etc. This vehicle displays 13,448 miles on the odometer, has a wheelbase of approximately 13.5 Feet and a total length of approximately 24 feet, weight empty is approximately 7,500 lbs. This truck is small enough to fit in a large garage, and nimble enough to drive down any country road with the wind in your face and the breeze in your hair. Buyer be warned, you will get lots of looks, questions, waves, thumbs up, and overall lots of admiration and attention from local first responders and total strangers while in possession of this truck. Random strangers will walk up to you begging for a photo, to sit in the front seat, or just to ask questions about this car. This vehicle is priced right for a special buyer that is willing and able to give this 84 year old truck a new home. Call with questions, please no joy rides. The vehicle is currently on display at Prestige Motor Works in Naperville Illinois. No charge for photos while we own it :)
