Very neat. I'm guessing these vehicles were for display only? I remember reading of a huge fire, possibly in the Hydra-Matic plant, which destroyed equipment and records. Because of that I have wondered for years if GM decided to invest in their own firefighting equipment or if it was left to the towns where the plants were located.
