1915 Fire Truck

Stonewall, Texas

There is a car museum of sorts at the LBJ Ranch. President Johnson liked his "toys" and they are on display now.
Not sure what he did with this, but this is a description of it:

The fire truck is a 1915-type 12 American La France given to the President by the people of Brady, Texas in 1964. When it was new it carried 1200 feet of standard fire hose and could deliver 1000 gallons of water per minute at any pressure desired up to 400 pounds per square inch. It is electrically equipped throughout, having lights near each gauge on the pump and around the motor, as well as an electric starter. The motor is a six cylinder and provides 105 horsepower.

Wonder if he ever took it out for a spin and got to ring the bell.
