  These are from the years when Pierce actually made a decent product. Nothing fancy or elaborate but they were reliable and good and the CAT Diesel in these Ford’s smelled so bad!!!

  The Downers grove Ford was a 1981. It served frontline until the Pierce Sabers were purchased in 1995 and reserve til 1999
