In 1957 the company purchased a Dodge Power Wagon chassis. The brush truck body was taken from and old Studebaker acquired from the Talleyville Delaware Fire Company. Members of the Avondale Fire Company mounted the body themselves on the new Power Wagon. Originally painted red, in the early 70’s Avondale decided on the white over Chrysler Lime Green paint scheme.

Southern Chester County is the Mushroom Growing Capitol of the world. Since the area mushroom growers were such great supporters of the Fire Company it was decided that the mushroom mural would be placed on all the trucks. “Pee Wee” as the Power Wagon was affectionately named remained in active service until 1983.

First Gear Produced 600 of this 1/30 scale replica in September 2003. The scale replica is fairly accurate of the truck that was in service. Since First Gear used the actual paint numbers from Chrysler and copied the graphics from old photos of the power wagon.
