pedal cars that look like fire engines, the collection at the Fire Memories Museum

Parnelli and the #98 at the March 1965 Kearney Bowl midget races

the midget racer referred to would be similar to the #83 in the Justice Brothers museum http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2012/05/hollywood-spring-axle-special-driver.html

found on the wall of the Fire Memories Museum

Fire Memories Museum in Banning

1919 Seagrave that was kept in the back of the firehouse it served, it stayed there a really long time, and the firefighters there decided to restore it when they weren't on call! They still own it and it's here at the museum on loan!

huge collection of portable classic extinguishers, patches, tools, and axes!

this one is for the kids to play on, it has water connected, and the turret is moveable so kids can aim it at the target "house on fire" (good side effect is that this waters the lawn!)

1952 Willys Jeep

there is a scrap yard that handles firetrucks (not many find good second homes, they are large, expensive, and few people can handle storing or restoring them) and they call the museum to let them know about som truck, which wasn't the only cool thing they had to show, this front bumper was there, and makes a great bar!

unrestored 1925 Seagrave fire engine, from Elkhart Lake Wisconsin, where it spent nearly 75 years in storage

this is at the Fire Memories museum in Banning  http://firememories.org/

Pacific Beach (of San Diego) used to have a fire engine for the lifeguards! A 1938 Ford

This is at the Fire Memories Museum in Banning, at the I10 and hwy 60 intersection, halfway between Riverside and Palm Springs. Well, somewhere between them, closer to Riverside. Why quibble. I'll be posting a lot more of the museums trucks!
