Product Description ■ [Opel Admiral Fire Engine 1938 (German)】
In 1945, the German self-defense fire brigade faced the problem of electrification of vehicles.
In the unfortunate circumstances of the time, no readily available fire engine could be expected, so the solution was improvised.
The self-defense fire brigade in Hofheim in the Taunus region also faced this problem.
Fortunately, the Admiral was available as a military vehicle.
With the help of local companies and our own efforts, we converted the pre-war Opel into a fire engine.
The Admiral was the first Opel with a non-self-supporting structure, with the body not firmly anchored to an underbody.
This opened the way to fit the body to your needs.
First of all, a hose with caster superstructure was attached to the rear, and doors were removed for quick access.
The roof was also a victim of this idea.
The exterior features a practical design, particularly at the back.
Only at the front remained the original design.
The car was finished with red paint as the final end of the renovation.
The renovated Opel served to transport members of Hofheim's self-defense fire brigade, with a maximum speed of 90 kph when towing the trailer, 120 kph without a trailer, and a maximum fuel consumption of 40 litres per 100 kph.
