Okay, I was not able to do all the research I had planned on doing, but here is what I have found so far: The apparatus was built as an E-Series (produced from 1937-1950), depicted by the single-piece windshield combined with the sloped, V-shaped grille. The other Series in production at that time included the L-Series (1940-1954), which featured a split windshield and a more vertical, more flat-faced grille. The Model 75, of the E-Series, was powered by a 150 horsepower Mack "L-Head" engine of 525 cubic inch displacement. The "S" in the production number denotes a "single reduction drive" rear axle. The Model 75 designation was specific to that engine and a 750 gallon-per-minute Hale centrifugal pump. Mack produced 393 Model 75's in the E-Series. The E-Series was available in a wide range of cab configurations, from the 2-door closed cab style above to full sedan-style 4 door cabs to open cabs, with or without doors. It was replaced in 1950 by the A-Series, which used the same windshield, but a grille more similar to the L-Series and was produced until 1956. Tomorrow, I will see about looking up that specific production number to see if I can discover the original owner.

Mack model designations are a complex mixture of letters and numbers and it takes a bit to decipher them. I will look through my collection of Mack apparatus info and get back to you tomorrow evening with the results.

Back when I was a kid, I had a buddy whose Dad drove a black '64 T-Bird hardtop, similar to the one above. Fifty-some years later, my old buddy is a country music singer and still has his Dad's T-Bird!

Happy New Year!

NBC NEWS - 12/24/2021 WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden was subjected to a right-wing anti-Biden slur during a Christmas Eve call with NORAD's Santa tracker. Biden and the first lady were speaking with families around the country who had called into the North American Aerospace Defense Command to receive an update on Santa's location when one parent ended the conversation by saying: "Let’s go Brandon." The president did not appear to recognize that the phrase was a euphemism for "f--- Joe Biden," and responded: "Let’s go Brandon, I agree."
