Ford V8 1955 Papatoetoe New Zealand

Photo 3/3 Ford V8 1955 model of the Papatoetoe Volunteer Fire Brigade, Auckland, New Zealand. Machine is now fully restored and will be on display at the Museum of Transport and Technology, in Western Springs, Auckland, New Zealand. In its day this appliance was a fast responder for the Brigade that covered a heavily populated area of South Auckland, including considerable industrial and commercial district.

Comments:
Man, this Fire Truck looks so much North American, even down to the nick-name painted on the hood (bonnet) and the back-ground trees.

Like the guard, protecting the Pump Gauges.

Pav, if you had blurred out the Licence Plate - you would have really made it difficult.

From the Antipodes, yet....

Regards, from Canada,
