ALF - 900 Series

Sorry. Couldn't help but add my 1959 to the impressive list, even though it's a year off the forum year range.  Cheers.

1959 American LaFrance 800

Anyone have more info on this truck?  After woorking the floor for three days I really had no energy to spend looking for more info.  It really is a beautiful looking rig someone really did a nice job restoring it.

One other thing anyone with the time and talent to photoshop out the parking meter?

Here's about the best I can do as far as getting rid of that parking meter.  I hope it's ok for what you need.

Fred,

It appears that we've traveled the same circles for at least 20 years.  I'm amazed that we've never run into each other!  You have photos of some rigs that I don't, and I probably have some that you're missing.  Let's get together for a buffing trip one of these days...just PM me when you get some time.

Oh, and please...keep these photos coming!
