I am a big fan of the Crown, the best looking fire trucks ever built in my opinion. That would be my dream truck to own. Unfortunatly, there are none in Canada that I know of, but if I could get a hold of one, it would find its way up here!! Looking forward to more Crown pics.

A restored 1955 Crown, that is owned by the LACoFD Historical Museum.

Crown's a nice looking truck, however being on the East Coast, I have only seen one Crown in person. Photo Taken in 2009, in Circleville, NY at a showing of a private fire apparatus collection. Unfortunately I did not get any info on this 1970 Crown

If this is 582s, it was originally assigned to Engine 68. I remember seeing it one day & it still had the old roundels on the rear end w/ "68" in them.
