Popular Post 1958 F.W.D. Posted September 13, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted September 13, 2016 It's been relatively uneventful lately. I saw a big Mack firetruck at a 9-11 Memorial Service. It has a 50' "telesqurt" on top of it, made by the Snorkel Company. Mack would make the chassis, ship it to Snorkel to have the aerial device installed, then back to Mack to have the body fabricated. Then I saw these Crown Buses north of Philadelphia. If you know much about Crown, you know that one on the east coast is rare, let alone two of them. One had some kinda pancake thing painted alpine green. I didn't pay much attention to it. The other one had a pancake Cummins. They both had 10-speed Fullers. Max total size 24.41MB Insert other media Uploaded Images Then I saw this 1923 Model T Ford. It was pretty. I saw a billboard, it was for some kind of fantasy movie, or Science-Fiction, I'm not sure which. My Volunteer Fire Department celebrated 100 years of service and this past Saturday Night we had a big old fancy dinner at a local country club. They asked me to bring the FWD and park it at the front door so that everyone could get their pictures taken with it. As I was driving over, I saw some girl hitchhiking and even though I was a little late I fell sorry for her so I stopped and picked her up. Since she was dressed real nice and all, I asked if she had any dinner plans and she didn't, so I said "hey this is your lucky night, I am going to allow you to be my date for this dinner dance thing I am going to." She was so impressed she could hardly refuse and immediately kissed my ring. Here's a better picture of the hitchhiker- she kind of looks like Meryl Streep. Sort of. Kind of. Either way she is all kinds of hot, don't you think? And when the night was over, I saw the FWD parked next to it's Grandson at the fire station as my house is 40+ miles away and I didn't wanna drive it back up that far at 1130 at night. Besides the hitchhiker had other ideas as for what I was gonna do for the rest of the night. 7 Quote TWO STROKES ARE FOR GARDEN TOOLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I agree, but you got to check the oil once in a while. Did you do that, or put the fire out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyT Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Very interesting! First time I've ever seen a school bus with a 10 speed " ranger" pretty much guarantees the employment of a qualified driver! In today's world even many otr companies are buying trucks with semi automatics for obvious reasons! Saw one of our grandkids bus "drivers" talking on the cell phone while driving! Like a dummy I didn't think to get her unit number! Will next time you can be sure! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Neat set of pictures, Randy! I was just about getting in a trouble recognizing my favorite shot between the Mack firetruck, the Great Cooker, you together with FWD and your better half... umm, ehh, I meant that girl you had luck picking up that evening... and some another thing I forgot of while typing the above. Some important thing though... Oh, yeah, the Alpine green leaking engine! So sorry you made a picture of the oil pan only. Hope for the next time though. Already out of likes.

farmer52 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 My favorite bus is the GM Greyhound Scenicruiser. Second favorite is the Crown bus especially the tandem axle buses. And why didn't Mrs. FWD "doll up" for the Nunnery? 1 Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ff6cav Posted September 14, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted September 14, 2016 That squirt was in service with my engine back in the day in Bellwood. One of these days I'll get the engine up that way and re-unite them for some pics 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
