1916 FORD MODEL T FIRE TRUCK

Owner: Joseph T. Findysz

This brass-era Model T beauty, with its characteristic white tires and painted wooden spoke wheels, was modified into a chemical truck back on March 1, 1916, by James Boyd and Brothers, Incorporated. The Boyds were well known for constructing small trucks, hose carts, and chemical carts in the early days of the twentieth century. This particular chemical truck was used in the railroad yards of  California during its prime. The easy portability of small trucks made this Ford Model T-based apparatus ideal for stopping a small fire from becoming a blazing inferno.
