| This Crown Firecoach was purchased by the City of Downey in 1968. She first served as Engine 1, displacing a 1957 Crown that was in that position, and later as Engine 61. Carrying serial number F1565, she is powered by a Cummins NTC-350 diesel motor with a Spicer 5-speed manual transmission and fitted with a Waterous 1,500gpm pump with 500 gallon water tank. This rig was retired and sold at auction in mid-2003 and was purchased by a collector. She was disposed of again and is shown in a photo from TruckTrader when she was listed for sale again in March 2007. Apparently she was purchased by an individual in Norco, CA who kept this rig for a few years as she was listed for sale again, this time on Craigslist in December 2009 as seen in the last photo. It is unknown if she sold and the current disposition is unknown. |
