Hello,

This is Worth’s Ford C/American LaFrance aerial truck.  Unknown ladder length or pump capacity.  If you know more, please feel free to comment.  Hope that you enjoy,

  I believe Worth’s truck was only the 3rd aerial ladder to go in-service in what is now MABAS 21. Evergreen Park was first with their Pirsch (T-32), then Oak Lawn followed with their ’59 Seagrave Quint (T-10). Oak Lawn also had a ’55 Seagrave Quad (T-11/T-22) which eventually went to the “Hall of Flame” Fire Museum in Phoenix, AZ.
