Scott- Additional info:



1958 GMC/Morysville delivered new to Ogontz FC-Cheltenham Twp. (Montgomery Co.),PA. Morysville Body Works was located just outside of Boyertown (Berks Co.),PA. When delivered it was painted all red. It featured a walk-in body with side compartmentation. In 1971 it was sold to Southampton (Bucks Co.),PA where it was repainted red and white as seen in the photo. In June, 1972 it was taken to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton,PA area where it assisted in providing aide to the flooding victims of Hurricaine Agnes. In 1976 it was sold to the Keystone Racetrack in Bensalem Twp. (Bucks Co.),PA. It went to the junkyard from there. By 1998 it was retrieved and restored by Jack Slattery-Bristol,PA. It has since been sold. Anyone know the current owner?

Scott- Additional info:



1956 Ward LaFrance model 85T ser.no.3937 delivered new in July, 1956 to Eagle FC-New Hope (Bucks Co.),PA. The body was unique with its side compartmentation and 750/1000 capacity. Its weight eventually caused the station floor under it to deteriorate which required reinforcement and repairs. In 1982 it was donated to the Alsace Manor FC (Berks Co.),PA when their station burned down and most of their apparatus was destroyed. In 1985 it went to Ruscombmanor FC (Berks Co.),PA. In 1991 it went to a MS location. Can anyone tell us where?
