  Frank, I believe that minipumper went to public works.

  Mike Summa, thanks for putting that fantastic photo online.
  If anyone on this site is familiar with the history of the New York City Fire Department they would know that the Mack C/95 model engine that you posted strongly resembles the New York City C/95s that were very popular as well as numerous during the late 1950’s through the mid 1960’s. Within about three years (1968) the CF model cab had replaced the C95 as the primary custom built cab design for Mack and consequently for New York City engine companies.

  What happened to the mini pumper robbins had from Libertyville?

  Truth be told, that design was originally from AHRENS FOX in the mid to late 1950’s. However, AHRENS FOX pretty much crapped out a few years later so MACK bought that cab design and they kept building it until 1967.

  Looks like a LaFrance design

  Very nice Thank You.
  Milwaukee had a bunch of these that served well into the 80’s.
