OMBAC’s Antique Fire Truck
A Restored Classic
The Old Mission Beach Athletic Club (OMBAC) is proud to showcase its prized possession: a meticulously restored 1923 Seagrave fire truck. Initially serving Los Angeles, this vintage engine is not in active service. It holds immense sentimental value for OMBAC, particularly its senior members who devoted over a year to its restoration. Led by Frank Munson, the dedicated “OMhose Fire Department” meticulously rebuilt the fire truck from the ground up. Their hard work and expertise are evident in the truck’s stunning appearance, a testament to their passion and craftsmanship.
The pride and joy of OMBAC is the 1923 Seagrave.
