North Charleston Fire Museum, South Carolina

[DLynskey]

When American LaFrance went defunct, the city of North Charleston, SC took over the ALF collection and built a beautiful new building just to display the collection. It houses the world's largest collection (around 20) of American LaFrance fire engines as well as other exhibits relating to fire protection. All of the vehicles are said to be operational. The website has photos of many of the vehicles.

 I didn't realize ALF had built passenger cars, but there were some, including about 1/2 dozen speedsters.

 

The Display covers old to new.
