Every one has their opinion on what they like. Someone might buy 25-30 acre of pristine wooded hillside just to clear-cut it to build a house in the middle. I recently found a 52 FFPW for sale with its original Wrecker mounted in an original and unmolested complete truck. The man sold the truck with the Wrecker removed, how many of us would enjoy a correct period FFPW as a working Wrecker. My 49 FFPW Fire Truck may have some missing paint where they had floor mats, but the 4 dents and scratches on its exterior will remain, I only plan to have the chrome redone. I don’t even need to replace the rubber on the windows it is still flexible since it has been kept inside out of the UV its entire life. Yes it will be used in Parades and for Car Shows. Last Saturday I took it to a fund raiser for a Fire Captain who lost both legs in a Hotel fire collapse, I was parked next to a totally restored 47 Howe pumper, I had more visitors, my semi shiny, original truck was used for back drop for photos of the Chiefs and Captains Wives.
