If you want it, this is were it is at. Glassboro's website, did not provide any additional information about it. There is a 1967 model that is close, but not it. Scroll down and you see the rear of this vehicle at a fire. http://www.glassborofiredept.com/whoweare.htm

The only identification is this piece showing it is an American LaFrance. The pump is the traditional "Twinflow"

Again, any interested buyers, it is located in Elmer, NJ. Strathmere is located on the Jersey shore, below Ocean City, NJ. Going to their website, http://www.strathmerefire.com/, there is no historical data provided. This concludes my contribution to the thread.

Here is one I found the other day. From Gibbstown, NJ (I believe) is this lovely Ward Lafrance. It is parked behind the Etowah-Horseshoe Main station outside of Hendersonville, Nc.

In reality, Ernie Day, was a salesman for Oren Fire Apparatus. He ran the New Jersey Fire Equipment Co and had a line that bore the name Great Eastern, They was actually Oren built, that had been rebadged.

They had models named, Conqueror, Challenger and Commander.
