For the scale modelers out there or those that collect the Athearn HO Ford C pumper model, this rig closely represents what the Athearn model was based from. The actual rig is stationed near Palm Springs.

Ah, the Ford C. One of my favorites! Fondly known as "the belly-button cab" (EVERYBODY has one). I cut my fire service teeth on a pair of them. Over the years I have managed to photograph about 840 of them, built by no less than 82 different builders, as well as those built by FD shops and unnamed sources. Many of these are from the typical big names, like Pierce, E\-One, Grumman, ALF, WLF, Pirsch, etc, but there are also lots of lesser known builders represented. I hope you all enjoy the next several weeks!
