Sweet Thanks Phil. That is great news, Joe will drop his teeth when he finds out it will be RED. He fell over when I told him the beautiful Millcreek emerald green was replaced by that odd lime color. Thanks again.



Stay Safe,

Rick

Frond sheet metal told me it was a 1941 or early 1942 Dodge, but checked the Glen Carbon Website and found out it is "1941 Dodge / Central - purchased new by department - but now owned by Fire Safety Inc. Wood River IL" Sounds like Fire Safety returns it to Glen Carbon when ever they want it for events etc. Great find, nice photo!

Saturday. September 11, 2010. For the 3rd year it will be held under the Arch on the riverfront. I believe the parade usually begins either at 9 or 10 am.



Im sure their website will be updated once the date approaches.
