Someone uses this Opel truck as private vehicle in SF. It's a former German fire (gear/supply) truck. It appears to be a '60s model by the looks of it, but I wouldn't know, as it's from way before my time.
Note the seal of the "Volunteer Fire Brigade -- Town (of) Viechtach." That small town is in the Bavarian Forest and pretty much rural hinterland. How that truck got here is a mystery.
I also see an old former Bundeswehr (Federal Armed Forces) Mercedes Benz UNIMOG truck that a local locksmith uses as his work truck here in SF, but I have never gotten to snap a picture of it. Not yet, at least...
