That's a great looking 700 Series, Mike. My husband and I own a 1949 American LaFrance 700 Series Quint (my "baby" since before we met and were married) along with a 1951 American LaFrance 700 Series Engine. We also own a 1975 Crown Firecoach, but I've always been more of a fan of the 700 Series myself. :)

I havent gotten my own vintage apparatus yet (I have a couple located just convincing the owners to part with it) I added several pictures of my departments old trucks. Let me know what you think. I have several more. I am in the process of converting our archives to digital

I love the older apparatus. When I joioned my department around 1985 we still used a Ward LaFrance 1956 Pumper and a 1953 Ward LaFrance Quad. I will dig and post some pic's of them later but here is a pic of our 1928 Sanford Pumper.

I believe your truck is a 1916. Not 100% on that though.

My department has a truck that was restored for display, a 1934 not sure what manufacturer I will try to post some pics of it later.

Some nice lookin trucks u got there Mike. We have a 1923 Model T that is currently undergoing restoration. It still runs and drives considerably well. It gets driven once a year for the fourth of july parade and unfortunatly, until recently, was kept in storage the rest of the year. After winning a few car shows in its current state, we decided to restore it to its full beauty. Hopefully after we get it back we can show it off a whole lot more

I wish I was in your class of apparatus owners, but for now I own our retired 1981 American LaFrance Century Pumper and having a great time showing it off and racking up the trophies. Keep up the good work guys.
