Help Restore SFFD’s 1942 Coffee Unit No. 1

For decades this 1942 Chevrolet brought hot coffee and a much-needed lift to crews at San Francisco’s biggest fires. Now it needs a full restoration of its engine and chassis, gold-leaf lettering and copper urns to stay road-ready for parades and commemorations.
