1935 Fire Engine
State Farm began selling Fire Insurance in 1935 and used a fire hat as its emblem. In 1979 the logo was changed to a fire truck. In 1985, to coincide with the Fire Company's 50th anniversary, State Farm began looking for an authentic fire engine. In 1987 State Farm acquired an antique fire engine that was manufactured in 1935-the year of the founding of the State Farm Insurance Company. It was originally owned and used by the Empire Hook & Ladder Company of Pottstown, Pennsylvania from 1935 to 1982, this fire engine was used in by State Farm in parades and special events before retiring it to the Corporate Lobby at State Farm Corporate Headquarters in Bloomington, Il where it now resides.
