American LaFrance Type 91 / 92 / 94 / 96
1927 -
1932
In between the entry-level Type 99 commercials and flagship custom-chassis 100 Series fire apparatus, American LaFrance at about the same year introduced yet another semi-custom series designated Types 91 and 92.
Similar in external appearance to the company’s commercial trucks, the 79 horsepower, 500 gpm Type 91 and 106-hp, 600 gpm Type 92 were powered by Buda six-cylinder engines. Larger, more powerful versions introduced later were designated Types 191 / 192 and 291 / 293.
Further expanding this product line were a Type 94 (later type 194) city service ladder truck and Type 96 (later type 196) quadruple combination. The type 297 had a 750 gpm rotary pump. These models were produced until 1932.
