Since I was on Stoughton before getting on DCFD I got to see this antique a bunch of times. I just asked the Stoughton fire history expert FF Donny Chipman about it for you. The current owner is the Town of Stoughton Historical Society. It is a 1928 Maxim that served the Town of Stoughton from 1928 until 1956. It was involved in a roll over accident in 1933 which ejected all 3 fireman riding it. I never really got a close up of it because the parade day driver's were always Fire Dept UNFRIENDLY Selectmen. The full restoration was done by a Brockton FF named Howie Briggs, then sold to Brockton FF Billy Donovan, before being returned home to Stoughton.
