Back
in the 80's, Newark, New Jersey purchased a bunch of these Continental "Compacts" as they were in a financial crunch and they needed apparatus replaced. Engine 7 is a 1981 model 1000/500. The cab is a IHC 1600 Series with a fiberglass "nose in place of the hood and fenders. I was wondering if these units were placed in other towns or were they just built for Newark. This is truly a Custom Commercial Canopy Cab!

Quote:BackApproximately 50 Continental Compac apparatus were built between 1980 and 1983, when Continental went out of business. There was a very good article about them in the July-August, 2000 issue of Fire Apparatus Journal. The Compac was built on a modified General Motors chassis and, as stated above, the cabs were purchased from International. Newark purchased five Compac pumpers and Yonkers, NY had the largest fleet with six pumpers and a tractor to pull an older ALF trailer.

The next group of apparatus I will post are those associated with the White Motor Company. Over the years, White had relationships with Volvo, GMC, and AutoCar. On some models, the same cab sheet metal was used, regardless of the brand name it carried.
The White Road Xpeditor chassis was a tilt cab COE used by several apparatus manufacturers.

This conventional style chassis can be found in three brands: White-GMC, Volvo, and AutoCar. I am not familiar with the model designations for them.
