Peterborough's 1927 American LaFrance - Model 145



Built in Toronto Canada for the City of Peterborough in 1927. In service until about 1950. Sold to Baltimore Fire Department in 1956. Purchased by Burford Auto Parts in 1960 and refurbished by the Holden Brothers to present condition by 1966. In 1997 after agreeing on a price and raising the funds through commercial agencies, it was purchased by the Peterborough Professional Firefighters Association, International Association of Firefighters - Local #519. Originally equipped with a double magneto and a battery/coil system each cylinder is equipped with 3 spark plugs! Sometime during its service the double magneto was changed to a single magneto and battery/coil system which continued to provide a dual ignition safety factor insuring the truck could be started when needed. Currently only two of the three plugs in each cylinder are operational.
