Note: The Icon posted this photo three years ago, but it's worthy of a re-post. Dennis Morrison shared the photo with us.

Here's a photo worth 10,000 Bluffton words.

Santa Claus (portrayed by Al McCluer) in an early 1950s Bluffton Santa Claus visit approaches a farm wagon stage on the Prebsyterian Church lawn. He arrived by fire truck. Can anyone please identify the fire truck in the photo? The Ford on Main heading north is a 1951 model.
