This from Mike Summa for #TBT:

For TBT – This was the Oak Forest Fire Dept.’s Car 970, a late 80’s, early 90’s Dodge Ram 4×4. What is the saying?, What is old is new again. Were these popular in the fire service? Current police departments are purchasing Stellantis SUVs for their use. What is your opinion? Enjoy and comment.
