Already known around town for Cherry, their pink poodle, Paul and Alice Williams now have another claim to fame: restoring a 1939 fire truck.

The apparatus was sitting in a pole barn for more than 10 years, reports 13wmaz.com, when the two found it. It’s a Houston County truck, a 1939 Dodge, original engine, 6-cylinder with 72,000 miles on it.

Residing at the corner of Pio Nono and Marlies Circle, the vintage rig popped up on Facebook Marketplace and the two decided to purchase it, the report says. The Williamses are in the process of restoring “Scarlett Belle,” but they have no plans to have it match Cherry.

Many first responders have stopped to look and take pictures with the apparatus, the report notes. The goal is to get the truck back on the road and eventually display it at car shows.
