1935 American La France Type 400 Fire Engine.  The town of Norfolk, Nebraska used this engine form 1935 until the 1960's.  It was American LaFrance's largest engine, with a mighty V-12 engine capable of generating almost 25o horsepower.  Top speed is over 60 miles per hour.  Its 1250 gpm rotary pump sits directly behind the engine, resulting ina majestic hood reminiscent of the large touring outomobiles of the 1930's.  Only about 170 Model 400s were built between 1933 and 1938.  Few departments could afford to purchase the pricey trucks.  Norfolk had its fire engine painted white.  Many towns copied the paint styles of nearby styles of nearby large cities.  denver, Colorado painted its rigs white, and many towns in Colorado and Nebraska followed suit.  The engine was donated to the Hall of Flame Museum by Mr. Bernard Lowe.  It was restored by Don Hale.
