1942 INTERNATIONAL K5S FIRE TRUCKThis is a fully restored and completely functional 1942 International K5S Fire Truck out of Idaho in the United States.

He is best known for having created some of the first reliable mass-produced mechanical ventilators for acute and chronic cardiopulmonary care. He has a massive private collection comprised of cars, trucks and planes. When Dr Bird passed away in 2015, his entire collection was put to auction as part of his deceased estate. The truck was ultimately purchased and send out to Australia where it has lived in collections since.The truck itself is complete and functioning. It runs a big flat head 6 cylinder engine paired to a manual transmission.

All of the correct fire truck items remain in place including spinning dome lights, front mounted siren, Bell, spotlights, water pumps, hoses, helmets, fire extinguishers, tools, ladders etc. The detail in the truck is amazing, many parts are beautifully chrome plated and polished and shine beautifully. The wheels are nicely polished up to a near mirror shine. The interior is well restored with switches to operate all the bell and whistles. The truck would ideally suit a collector or museum. It is a gorgeous functional show piece and certainly a talking point for someone. Reach out if you would like more information or to make an appointment to view it in person.
