Sorry, but no. That was the only year I saw it at the Muster. Shooting film at the time and on a limited budget, only took this 1 shot. Didja notice the 2 "growlers" on each fender? That would make some serious noise!

A fantastic Segrave Sedan. Out of repect for Frederick Seagrave, Seagrave only has one S.

Look at the SIGN. I just calls 'em as I sees 'em. I guess the owner, or whomever made the sign needs correcting. I believe Mr. Seagrave would be quite pleased with the restoration, regardless how his name was spelled.

The Seagrave sedan pumper was first developed in 1935 for Detroit Fire Department, which is understandable if you have visited the Motor City in winter.
Production was suspended during WWII because the design used too much metal, and only open cab units were built - but the sedans started up again after the war.
They were fairly popular with other departments, but well outsold by open and canopy cab versions of the same pumper. Several sedans were also sold as rescues, which was a particularly effective adaptation of the enclosed body design...
The New World version was introduced a few years after this example was built, which had a different hood and grille, but a virtually identical body.
Seagrave was later one of the first to copy the American La France concept of a forward control chassis with engine behind the front axle and a five man canopy cab. As this configuration grew in popularity and became almost universal in the US, the sedan cab became obsolete ....
