Description
This 1959 Volkswagen Type 2 Feuerwehr Fire Truck Bus (VIN: 435778) is a rare and highly original example of a factory-equipped German fire brigade vehicle, presented in its correct Fire Bus Red (SK688). Showing 27,646 miles (TMU), this bus represents a remarkably preserved piece of European emergency service history, complete with its original firefighting equipment and accessories.
Built for service in Germany, this example retains a wide array of period-correct equipment, much of which is stamped “59” to match the production year. Features include the original water pump system, drafting hoses, industrial auxiliary engine, and a fully functional spotlight setup. These buses were purpose-built to support firefighting operations, capable of drawing water from hydrants or natural sources using onboard equipment.
The vehicle has been restored with a strong emphasis on originality, with details verified through the M-Code and VIN plates. The correct 36hp engine has been professionally restored, and the bus retains its original cab upholstery and interior panels, which remain in exceptional condition.
