1925 Ford Model T Firetruck

This 1925 Ford Fire Truck (Model T) is in the guise of a New York fire truck and represents a fascinating piece of social history.

It features New York Fire Department livery and comes complete with hoses, axes, ladders and bells plus additional pump. It is in good all-round condition and fully functional (excluding pump).

To the rear of the unit is the hose, search light and water tank with, running along the sides, a set of ladders. Additionally, a correct hickory-handled fire-fighter’s axe can be found to one side with a pike to the other. A large brass fire-bell is available to clear the way! Inside, the seating is in good condition chesterfield-style with the entire unit sitting proudly on artillery wheels. To the rear is an additional wheeled pump to lift water from a hydrant (believed non-functional).

Recent work includes new front tyres, an alternator, starter motor as well as a fresh MoT test certificate.

This 1925 Ford Fire Truck (Model T) was also used in Disney’s 2019 blockbuster feature film, ‘Dumbo'. It is fully functional.
