The Type H (or H Van/H Type/HY) first went into production in 1947, meaning it’s celebrating its 60th year.
The first examples used Citroen Traction Avant running gear, later to be replaced by Citroen DS mechanicals. And there’s no prizes for guessing that those headlights were also found on the 2CV.
Over its 34-year run the Type H was built in France and Belgium, and found close to 500,000 buyers. As well as being particularly popular on the home market, it was also a huge seller in the Netherlands.
Pictured is a 1974 model. There is a band that practices on my building. I would love to see them have like this one for traveling to shows. |

| #2 Salvage was my favorite fire engine when I was growing up. Lot of people said it wasn't "pretty" like later fire engines. They were right. It had the "tough guy" look it deserved. When you saw it "growl" out of the Central Fire Station on Elizabeth Street, you knew to get out of its way: it had a job to do. Even the back end said it all: "KEEP BACK 200 FEET"; no cute little sign like "please don't follow me to close". Two great pictures of #2 Salvage. Loved how they would open the side covers on the engine so it didn't overheat when they were working a fire. | |||

Watching a classic car rally, I saw an old truck called a Hotchkiss. See the 1952 Hotchkiss above. It was really neat so I searched out some facts.
Benjamin B. Hotchkiss was born in Watertown, Connecticut in 1826. Starting in the 1850s, he was employed as a gunmaker in Hartford. In 1867, Hotchkiss moved to France and set up a munitions factory in Saint-Denis, near Paris, named Hotchkiss et Cie. He developed a revolving barrel machine gun (in French: "canon-revolver") known as the Hotchkiss gun. An embarrassment of profits at the turn of the twentieth century prompted the company to move into the car business to avoid attracting too much attention from the French government. In 1954, Hotchkiss purchased French manufacturer Delahaye, closing down their automotive line but continuing to produce Hotchkiss-Delahaye trucks for a few months before eliminating the Delahaye name completely. After 1954, Hotchkiss manufactured Jeeps under licence from Willys. In 1956, Hotchkiss merged with French car manufacturer Brandt, producing jeeps at their factory near Paris for the French military until 1966. The firm was merged into Thomson-Houston in 1966 and in 1970 stopped producing vehicles of any sort. In the early 1970s, the Hotchkiss marque disappeared, as the French conglomerate came to be known as Thomson-Brandt. This, in turn, was Thomson SA. The name of the Hotchkiss firm is associated with a form of power transmission called the Hotchkiss drive. |

| This New Hartford, NY fire truck, termed a "squad car" was converted from a Lincoln. Hence, a "Professional Car". To me, it looks older than 1941, but maybe than was the year it was converted. | |||
|
|||
| The Lincoln was replaced in 1956. No longer a Professional Car, it became a truck. | |||

|
| Driving the Jeep (Willys, of course) is a 2-Star General in the "reinactment army". By 1963, Ford made them, but they were not much different. Think the "General" bought his rank as he owns 6 WWII vehicles. I'm envious! |

| Follow a new railroad into the Adirondack Mountains of New York State. They run tourist trains, dinner trains, and even a ski train from Saratoga to North Creek. They want to reactivate the railroad to a mine that was closed over 20 years ago. New technology and a new attitude maybe just the right combination. |
