The Fire Museum of Md. located in Lutherville was the scene of our annual antique car show on July 9th with our congenial host John Horn HostJohnHorn.JPG (17607 bytes). The museum is conveniently located just north of the Beltway I-695 York Road exit in Heaver Plaza.   In addition to the gathering of 17 antique and classic cars on the spacious parking lot to see and enjoy there was the awesome collection of fire engines, fire apparatus, and fire memorabilia in the museum.   Here's a photo gallery of selected vehicles in the collection.
