LaFrance owners always tell that the company built cars too, which,of course, is true.īut- here are my questions- have theh few cars had the same sized frames as the "racers" built today as conversions from period fire trucks ? Have the originals ever been raced and would the modern rebuilds really be at least a bit correct ?Īlso, I have heared that supposedly a few of the Mercedes Edwardians that should have Mercedes built Simplex engines run indeed with LaFrance engines with the LaFrance simply ground off. To me they always semm out of proportion, simply too big even for Edwardian racers. Quite a few of them are senn at events, they are especially popular on the continent over here.
