[quote name='tascman' post='27338' date='Aug 27 2006, 19:19 '][color="#FF0000"]I shot this rig at a parade in PA back in 1987 (I think it was in Lebenon). Mount Zion, PA was running this Brockway tanker. Mattson Pic[/color] <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/usa.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Usa' />[/quote]



If that was 1987 it was probably the PA State Convention in Lebanon, that is Lehman Street. The Brockway was only just replaced in the last 2 yrs I believe.

Scott,



Yes, the Minquas Fire Company of Downingtown still has the Autocar. Info listed below:



1949 Autocar/U.S. Fire Apparatus, full cab, 750/250, purchased by the borough for $13,500, housed on 10/14/49. The company retained this piece and had it restored. It is used as a parade piece.

WOW! May 2007 is the 100th anniversary of Minquas FC of Newport, DE. Here's their 48 Mack 3 door sedan cab. That's two really good loking oldies. I wonder what else bearing the name of Minquas will show up.



Phil, Bklyn
