mowdak's inaccuracies would be my fault.
I am going by the information that was given to me. The majority of the people with intimate knowledge of the vehicle have all moved on from our tiny department to larger departments and retirement.
I am willing to answer any questions to the best of my abilities and resources that I have available.
Questions and inaccuracies
Model year I have been told 58 or 59 depending on the source. I have also been told they did not have model years back then, but instead they went by series numbers that possibly spanned years. The ID plate says it is a P101. The taillamps have a production year of 1957.
Vehicle Type Most of the vehicles followers know it as a Suburban. I have seen it referred to as a Panel Truck as previously corrected or as a CarryAll
Why are we selling it Room, money, and age. We have a small operating budget and this vehicle was limited in its applications. The replacement vehicle needs somewhere to be parked. It still runs fine, as I just took it for a drive a week ago. The mileage is currently 7218, and the tires might have 100 miles on them. The money raised from the sale will be going back into the fire department for newer equipment, and to help pay for replacement vehicles. I was originally alotted a month to get the word out on the internet, but it looks like that will be chopped a bit- the chief wants it out now- I jave been instructed to get a page prepped for eBay unless someone makes a decent offer first
Any more questions, comments, advice or info are all appreciated.
