  I think this was built by General Body Company of Chicago. General Body was responsible for building the Autocar squads for the CFD. Rosenbauer’s Minnesota operations was formerly General Safety.

  I do believe if I’m not mistaken what was General in Minnesota is now Rosenbauer.the squad sure has distinctive styling especially the swooping roof line………..

  Nice rig but something a little bit different this time. I always look forward to “Throwback Thursday”.
