1916 American LaFrance

This is one of the cars that turned up at a small motoring meet at the top of Werneth Low in Hyde in July 1991.

It's a 1916 American LaFrance that was owned by local businessman Clive Williams and has a 6-cylinder inline 15 litre engine. La France is best known as a manufacturer of fire engines and other emergency vehicles for over 100 years from the early 20th century, but also built a number of passenger cars in the early years.
