Not a long time ago several interesting fire pumps were exposed at a Portuguese classic car event. The 1930 Citroen C6  (photo 3) or the 1929 Brockway (Photo 4) seem to be fully original while others like the 1929 Buick (photo 5), 1930 Cadillac (photo 6) or 1920s Packard (photo 7) have suffered of deep transformations during the postwars years. The Packard seems to be derived of a grand luxury, maybe even from the desirable "Twin six" if we observe the steering wheel. Also there were two trucks that despite their original appearance we haven´t been able to find the concrete marque. The one of the main photo is a real oddball with this rounded radiator. The round shape indicates a possible french origin (Delaunay-Bellevillle?) but this baroque words in the front are unidentifiable for us, as is the little badge of the more current fire engine of photo 2, equally difficult to name. Do you have any idea?
