Take a tour of this Seagrave the men taking the video believe to be from 1940-something.  They're looking for some help narrowing it down.

The video was taken in at the Douglas General Store in Washington State.

    Should be pre 1947.  Around 47, Seagrave started using cast steps on the body as opposed to the formed metal.  Other clues are the lack of metal accross the top of the windshield glass and the narrow cab.  The more narrow, rolled front bumper was changed around 47 / 48 as well.  There should be a factory ID plate on the officer side of the fire wall in the engine compartment with the year and model number.  The model number would identify at least the original engine installed at the factory.

    Seagrave had Cast Aluminum steps in the 30's I have them on my 37. There is a brass plate on the firewall on the Officers side. It will contain the Seagrave Serial No and date made. If you send me the number I can tell you who bought the Seagrave

    My kid and I stopped there 2 yrs back and some guy told us it was 1944.  He was a caretaker of the park and that is the original fire station you see behind the truck.  The store is an original from the same time frame early fortys and he also stated that the tire was going to be refurb'ed by a potiental buyer.  Guess that still has not happened.

    Seagrave made their last one piece, fold down windshield in 1940.  The upright, narrow two piece windshield was only used for four years, 41,42,43,44 and then they went to the wider, layed back, streamlined windshield.  Lack of chrome and detail like hood streamers also indicate this engine was built during the war years.
