A big fire engine.

For one point, please respond and identify this truck.

Interesting challenge!

IFA S4000?

Bill

Wendax · August 30, 2014, 03:51:47 PM

IFA is correct, but not an S4000.
Locked for you for one more try.

Bill Murray · August 30, 2014, 04:01:50 PM

The other possibility I had was a G-5.

Bill

Wendax · August 30, 2014, 04:09:13 PM

Not a G5.

Unlocked and open for all again.

IFA H6?

Wendax · August 30, 2014, 04:25:33 PM

No

Bill Murray · August 30, 2014, 04:26:09 PM

And only seconds behind, I agree, an H6, about the last IFA conventional (bonneted) truck left.

Bill Murray · August 30, 2014, 04:26:54 PM

Damn, I thought he had it 8) 8).
Bill

Bill Murray · August 30, 2014, 04:31:01 PM

Sorry, I missed one model, the H3 and I believe that is the run of conventional IFA trucks.

Bill

Wendax · August 30, 2014, 04:32:15 PM

Not an H3 either. Remember it is AutoPuzzles! ;D

4popoid · August 30, 2014, 04:34:21 PM

IFA H3A?

Wendax · August 30, 2014, 04:34:45 PM

No

4popoid · August 30, 2014, 08:06:47 PM

Might this be the prototype (1957?) IFA N7-DL30 ladder truck, which, I believe, was the only one ever produced?

Bill Murray · August 30, 2014, 08:14:28 PM

Or, a Dl25 which I also just found.

Yes, it is the IFA N7 prototype, its construction was begun in 1956. DL30 resp. DL25 is the abbreviation for the ladders used (DL = Drehleiter = turning ladder; the number is the length in metres).
One more point for you.

Bill Murray · August 31, 2014, 10:56:59 AM

A tip of the hat to 4popoid.
Not an easy puzzle in spite of the relative speed it was solved within once the IFA connection was made.
Probably a reflection on the East German economy of the time, most all of each different model looked pretty much the same to me. One basic style, no real "styling" .
