When it was ordered at a cost of $230,000, it was supposed to painted a dark green. Pierce painted it metallic green by mistake. Even though it was the wrong color, the company liked it, and made a deal with Pierce to pay for repainting the 1982 Chevrolet Suburban and 1979 Peterbilt/Swab the same color. It was given to the Po-Mar-Lin Fire Company (Chester County) on 4/23/93 when the association disbanded. Never repainted by Po-Mar-Lin. Po-Mar-Lin still has it as of today.
