The series 700 LaFrance was introduced
in 1947. They combined revolutionary cab forward design with
a V-12 engine, right-hand side pump panel, and tailboard hose
reel. This beautiful example was purchased by the City of
Inglewood in 1950 and served as that city’s Engine 6
until it was retired and preserved for historical purposes.
At some point, the V-12 powerplant was replaced with a Hall-Scott
gasoline engine. Our museum inherited the vehicle in 2000
when the City of Inglewood annexed its fire department to
the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
