You are so right, Steve! I really love those Ford C/Youngs. The first piece of apparatus I fell in love with was Herndon Co. 4's piece. It was new at the time (it reverted to the County when Co. 4 turned over operations in '77, got repainted in County white/red, then was sold to the Dominican Republic with other surplus County apparatus in the early 80's. It's the only Virginia Ford C/Young open cab currently unaccounted for. I hope it's not rusting in a field in the DR).

My grandfather and two uncles were vollies @ Co. 4. The uncles later went on the become career FF's for the county, now both retired. One of them is the owner of Roto-Ray, having bought the patents many moons ago. He still builds each and every one himself (with occasional help from his brother and son who is a current FFX County Lieutenant).

Sarge619: I believe I have a picture of the Sarah-Zane Fire Company "C" in the '82 Winchester parade. I'll look for it.
