Scott- Yes it is an Imperial. 1970 Dodge W300/Imperial 200/300 I-509. In service Nov.,1970.
Scott,
Info on the Phoenixville ladder: 1969 Seagrave, K-series, semi-cab, 100 ft steel mid-mount ladder, cost $36,000, 5 KW generator. It was refurbed in 1986 in which it was painted LY and had a white cap installed. Housed 7/19/69. It was replaced in 1991 and the borough had a tough time selling it. It was finally sold in March of 1993 to Northeast Fire Apparatus for $26,154. Love to know what happened to this rig.
