1939 American La France 550-RC Pumper The World Standard Throughout the early to mid-twentieth century, through two World Wars, and the urban boom of the 50s and 60s, American LaFrance continued to be at the forefront of fire apparatus design and manufacture. Many of the models produced then are now considered prized collectors items, and have found proud places in museums and private displays everywhere. To this day, American LaFrance has built and put into service more fire apparatus than any other company in the world. This truck is a Type 550-RC that was shipped from the Elmira, NY American LaFrance Factory. The 500 gallon per minute pumper was considered the Rolls Royce of its day.
