[color="#483D8B"]Do you have shots of a 1969 Hahn from Somerville, NJ that served as Engine 3 - West End Hose Co.[/color][/quote]

The white over red with the stylish drop on the front was one of Hahn's distinctive features or signatures.
Later Coatsville painted the hahn Lime yellow! (Oh no!) <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':o' />
as seen next to West End's fire house.
This rig was in service up to a couple years ago!
