Fire Truck - The flying squadron 1911 Postcard
Colourized photo from 1911, May 3
Original Title: Packard fire squad
Location: E. Larned at St. Antoine, Detroit, Mi
Cars were relatively a new thing a 100 years ago. Firemen used to use horses and wagons, and would race off as fast as a team of horses could go. Presumably, a guy would have to stand and make that siren sound as they travelled.
This station had a horseless carriage, the truck was a Packard, Model 30. It had a cruising speed of 20mph, used 6 cylinders, and held 10 people. Originally this company was called the Packard fire squad, sounding plain and boring, later on they were known as the Flying Squadron.
This truck carried the people, clothes, and very basic gear to the fire.

Exactly what I wanted, it is very difficult to acquire Vintage Australiana items. I am so please that I ordered 8 I will be using them for my scrap booking and Junk Journaling. Gorgeous, Zazzle produced and delivered exactly what I wanted.

Way better quality than I ever expected. I love the colours, font and quality of the card. I'm so pleased I found Zazzle as it is near impossible to purchase Vintage or Retro Australian memorabilia online. I chose this design when I purchased them. They are perfect for my projects. I was very specific about what I wanted. I know where to come now when I need to order similar items.

Perfect for the occasion I was using it for.
I was able to delete the lines so I could put in more wording.
Had an envelope so the address side wasn't necessary. Print quality and paper quality lovely.
