Dave, Do you have any photos of Stancliff's Ford C/Hamerly?
The one I have is pretty poor.

Negative. That is one of five 1962 Ward LaFrance Firebrand 750/200 pumpers delivered to DC. They were built as open-cab rigs and the roofs were added later on. I'm not quite sure on the International grille, but all five had it.

I have never gotten a good explanation of this rig in all my visits to Boonsboro, the body builder is a real mystery.

RE-BODIED AND 4-DOORED in 1987 by MT. Aetna Body Works of Hagerstown.
Stayed in county reserve into the late 1990's, a unique rig.

Based on info in the Ward LaFrance book from Iconografix, they were powered by Waukesha motors, not International.

FDNY bought-closed cab Firebrands. One was assigned to 82 Engine during Dennis Smith's time there.
Just conjecture, but if this were an IH chassis, I would think a big six like IH's 450 or 549FTV would be the powerplant.
