One of our regulars had commented in the past about his interest in Packard fire equipment. I just couldn't pass up this photo from the MSU collection. It's identified as a 1920-22 (Series 3-35) Twin Six with special extended chassis made for the Detroit FD Rescue Squad No. 1 stationed at Antoine and East Larned Street.
