http://kurtkamm.com/2012/10/page/2/ Says "1949 Pacific General" I believe the correct formatting would be 1949 Pacific General Fire Apparatus body Also, origin = Canada, built in = US since the chassis and cab would have been built by Pacific in Vancouver and the body and final assembly by General Fire Apparatus in Detroit. -- Last edit: 2012-11-26 07:55:47 |

Actually this is a General-Pacific. The General Fire Truck Corporation was formed in 1926 in St. Louis MO. A few years later they moved to Detroit. In 1937 they opened a west coast subsidiary in Los Angeles to be called the General-Pacific Corporation. The last fire apparatus came off the line in 1957. There is no coorelation with a Canadian firm. LA County FD purchased several of these in 1949. |
