Axe, there were 2 separate photos taken at Highland Hose. The first was the station dedication in 1928. At that time they didn't have their fox yet. That one had tha Parnassus Fox. The second one was at Highland Hose, it had Highlands Fox. The Parnassus Fox was not in that one. Unfortunately, the Parnassus Fox was scrapped in 1954. There was nothing wrong with it. It was a shame. It was a nice looking rig.

My father, Purple Pete, had told me years ago that Apollo #2's Fox was cut-up for scrap after the Oren was placed into service. I believe he said it went to Wisebans (NA Wrecking) to meet its fate... On another note, my dad was offered Vandergrift #2's Fox for I believe $400 but mom said no.....One of the few times mom was wrong..
