Welcome to Vintage Fire Truck Advertisements

First of all, welcome to my new blog, Vintage Fire Truck Advertisements! Now, here is the twist, the focus of this blog isn't about selling fire trucks today, but investigates the actual advertisements that sold today's vintage fire trucks when they were new. We'll go back and look at how the print ads that sold horse drawn and motor powered fire trucks have changed since the early 1900s, and how many aspects of advertising have stayed the same. So please check back often, tell your friends (please!), become a follower, comment frequently and discuss the ads and the fire trucks they sold, and enjoy this "ride down memory road." Thank you!

Notes: Unless indicated otherwise, all of these advertisements are in the public domain in the United States; feel free to copy, share, and print the ads as you like. Some fire apparatus manufacturers from the early 1900s, such as Seagrave and American-LaFrance, are ongoing emergency vehicle manufactures today, all trademarks belong to their respective owners and no endorsement or association is implied.
