Taken at the ATCA (Antique Truck Club of America) truck show held annually at the Macungie Memorial Park in Macungie, Pennsylvania. I believe this old fire engine was built by the Buffalo Fire Appliance Co. on a Larrabee chassis. I had never before heard of Larrabee trucks or the Buffalo Fire Appliance Co.
From Coachbuilt.com:
"Buffalo Fire Appliance Co. - 1920-1948 - Buffalo, New York.
Beginning in 1920 this company built fire equipment on commercial chassis including Reo and Larrabee. From 1927 they used their own chassis but commercial chassis such as Ford Model A were also employed. Limousine pumpers were made from 1937, and in 1939 came a new streamlined series; this received a new grille in 1946, but otherwise there was little change until the end of production in 1948."
