RE: [T3] 63 Type 3 Fire Truck....

Though useless for structures larger than a small tool shed, it could've
been used at a dirt track as a first-responder.  Or maybe it was a
promotional type of vehicle...functional, though barely. 

I know of a Porsche 914 that was used at as fire truck (the fastest they
ever had, too!) for the Nurburgring track ;-)
