This is a 1942 Dodge with a Springfield Auto Works body. We strictly use this engine for parades and special events. This was our first apparatus the department bought new. Many Bolivar citizens stood by as it arrived in town by rail-car during WWII. We had this engine for a stretch of time then sold it to Morrisville Fire Department. Later, Morrisville FD wanted to retire it and two Bolivar FD members, Dale Newcomb and Carl Robertson bought it and planned on restoring it themselves if the city of Bolivar did not buy it. The city agreed to reimburse Dale and Carl, so now it is ours to enjoy
