Beschreibung:

Ford's mold breaking '32 models have gone down in history as among the prettiest cars ever made. But it wasn't limited to just cars—their trucks were rather stunning as well! Featuring the same elegantly sculpted waterfall grill—but painted rather than polished—the trucks could be had in a variety of styles and sizes. This example is a specially built firetruck. From the cowl back, the unique, open coachwork offers plenty of room for both transporting firemen as well as their gear. The rather wide bodywork provides ample space for everyone's knees in the two bench facing each other in the bed while the taller windscreen would might provide a bit of wind buffeting. While '32 was famous for the introduction of the V-8, this example is equipped with the reliable workhorse of the Ford powertrain lineup—the 50bhp, 200.5 cubic inch (3,285cc) inline four. Finished in Fire Engine Red with black fenders and grill, a slightly more modern red emergency light and growler siren unit is fitted to the left front fender. Perfect for outings with all of your friends and family, it will unquestionably draw smiles where ever it goes.
