Mount Zion, PA was running this Brockway tanker.

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.

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.
