We a have all resources for anyone who owns a Ward or is simply interested in keeping the spirit of Ward LaFrance alive. The one to the left has a 7 as the last number but hard to say what it was.For the first time since Ward LaFrance™ ceased operation in 1979, the original engineering drawings, parts lists, and assembly indexes of every truck ever built are together in one place. The 500 series numbers were Resv rigs used when there was a storm, re-call of members for riots and other HIGH FIRE TIMES. The one to the right looks like it was Resv Engine 514.

There was usually also a 12" chrome strip at the bottom of the cab front but FDNY had their units built without. This can be seen clearly on the engine on the right between the front door and the middle window. The cab curved out here and was fitted with a chrome engine cooling vent. The best/easiest way to tell the Century Series from the others is the cab was wider than all other ALF cabs starting right behind the front doors. The all red roof and lack of a Federal Crossfire Light in the front of the cab indicates they are 1980 models. I think both fire engines are the same model.īoth engines are Former FDNY 1980 Century Series ALF's.

The one on the left looks like an American LaFrance 900 to me.
