Product Description
Powered by the company’s industry-leading V-12 engine, the 400 Series Metropolitan with its long, gracefully tapered hood, skirted fenders, classically-proportioned gabled radiator and oversized wheels, was a triumph of industrial design?an eye-pleasing blend of form and function, and the industry’s first truly styled fire engine. This authoritative, thoroughly-researched and richly illustrated book documents the big 400’s relatively short, but spectacular, production life from its introduction in late 1934 through the last two assembled from the parts bin in early 1940.

Great Reference For ALF 400 Series Fans May 19, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
An excellent reference book for American Lafrance 400 Series Fans. I would have given it 5 stars but it contains quite a few typographical errors which reduce it's historical accuracy. I own two of the pumpers featured in the book (Register 7706 and 7844). The photo of 7706 (Briarcliff Manor, NY) was mis-labeled as a 1936 when it is actually a 1935 . The photos of Register 7844 (Ex-Albany New York) are not correct. The photos show a chain drive truck when in actuality the real truck was bevel gear drive.
I have to give credit where credit is due. The photos are great and any fan of the 400 Series should own a copy. Thanks Walt for spotlighting this classic Fire Apparatus!!
