Yes, she is a nice ride, is affectionatly referred to as "Booger"- the other department in town had it's twin "Snot" and has a small oil leak from the engine. "Restored" by members a few years ago, paint was done by a local gentleman who is no longer with us who specialized in fire apparatus. Nice thing is a little buff and polish and you wont see any scratches. That Photo is a couple years old taken at the State Fireman's Convention in New London.
I was a member of a neighboring Department in the late 1980's early 1990's when we aquired 2 M37s and did a frame up on one to build a brush rig. That truck has since been retired and sits in it's own bay next to the departments 1938 Diamond T. Not sure what happened to the second truck, which we obtained from the Oswegatchie FD in Waterford-that truck had a winch. The truck that still exists was Engine 4 in the City of Norwich and when restored ran as P-26 in the Preston City FD. That truck has a "ragtop" and was a fun truck to drive. I was able to take it on a few calls before leaving the department.
