Mack E 5-4-3 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Hi, everyone. I'm looking for information on a 1950 A-model Mack that was originally owned by Lampeter Fire Company in Lancaster County, PA. Our 100th anniversary celebration is in 2016, and I'm attempting to track the engine down. It was sold by the company in either 1991 or 1992. Unfortunately, I have no more information other than what I've posted above. If you have any information, or know of someone who might, please feel free to send me a private message to let me know. Any help is greatly appreciated!Hannah100th Anniversary Committee ChairLampeter Fire Companyhttps://www.facebook.com/LFC100YearAnniversary Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/42173-looking-for-mack-1950-a-model-lampeter-fire-company/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
1958 F.W.D. Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Have you tried calling Glenn Usdin? He may know it's whereabouts.

Mack E 5-4-3 Posted October 12, 2015 Author Share Posted October 12, 2015 I believe he's been contacted. Thanks for the tip, though, I'll try again. We've found out where the 1960 B is, just not this one.

fxfymn Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Any idea of what model, other than an "A" it is? (45, 75, 405, 505, etc.)Do you have the information from the Mack Museum that would give you the chassis number?Is it open cab, semi-open, or closed cab?Pumper, ladder truck, squad?Have spoken to Harvey Eckart to see if he happens to know where it is?

fxfymn Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I believe that is a Type 45A. An acquaintance of mine started his fire service career as a volunteer with Lampeter. We have talked about this piece a couple of times.There was an IH dealer in Cumberland, MD that bought and sold a few Mack fire trucks. I cannot remember his name, but I'm sure someone on here will know who I am talking about. I would check with him.

fxfymn Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 One other thought...Have you checked with the Mack Museum to see if anyone has sent in the chassis number to ask for the truck's history?

Mack458 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 A suggestion would be to contact SPAAMFAA and see if they have a registry, or can get the word out about your search.Mark Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/42173-looking-for-mack-1950-a-model-lampeter-fire-company/#findComment-309646 Share on other sites More sharing options...
