About those Henderson KY rigs. The one as E6 has no Ward id plates on it anywhere. inside the cab is a Midwest plate however complete with the Ward 80series # listed as the "chassis" and 31584 listed as the "serial". I'm guessing that Midwest was the Ward dealer at the time? The guys at Henderson have told me that they've never bought any modern rigs used;everything has been new. Was there also a 1973 listed as being delivered to Indy or the Indy area dealer? If so, thats probably the other Henderson rig(E4).

I do show a 1972, 80-651 with a delivery date of 3/31/72, that is listed as Indianapolis, IN, just like the other one was. Does anyone know if the Indianapolis FD ever had any Ambassador pumpers?

Here's the only Ambassador that served the lower "Gold Coast" of CT. It originally served as Cos Cob E2 in Greenwich CT. It's a 1973 1500/500

80-925. Info I found from another source says it's a 1000/500.

Mill Plain Fire Company of Danbury CT had this 1979 1250/750 only until 1991 when it was replaced by a pumper/tanker.
