Offered here is a 1951 American LaFrance Series 700 triple combination pumper! This unit sold new to Bay City, Michigan Fire Department and stayed stored and protected in the area throughout its entire life! It was used briefly as a fire reserve truck, before heading into the private collection of Jim Dobson, who coincidentally was the founder of the Bay City Antique Toy & Fire Truck Museum which remains open to the public to this day! This American LaFrance remains exceptionally original without any major restoration, and we are very proud to have it on display here in St. Louis, Missouri!

Powered by its original 527ci V12 gasoline engine mated to a 4-speed manual transmission, it was recently treated to a complete fuel delivery service to start and run confidently once again. This included dropping the fuel tank for a flush, cleaning, and sealing; then reinstalled with new electric fuel pump to provide fresh fuel to twin, rebuilt Zenith carburetors. The engine oil and filter were replaced, along with cleaning up some wiring and adjusting the brakes. We have had the privilege to enjoy this wonderfully preserved piece of history around our facility and find the operation to be surprisingly driver friendly compared to many other fire apparatuses we’ve represented in the past!

Testimonials

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Joe and the team at ACC are a pleasure to work with. Joe goes above and beyond and has been a great asset to our company. I look forward to many more auction sales!

Matt T, Mad Muscle Garage

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

We really appreciate how ACC continues to work with both parties even after the live auction has ended.  They were able to help us reach a deal with the high bidder 4 days after the auction ended, a deal that was fair for both sides and everyone was happy.  Hard working staff at ACC really seemed to care about helping us get the sale completed even though it was not a high dollar sale that would make them much on the buyer’s fee.  Will use again and will be recommending to my friends!

Have been doing auctions with ACC for years and have sold several cars with them. They go the extra mile and work hard on getting the cars sold.

Tracie B, Jensen Classics

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Of all the sites I buy from, ACC’s post auction dealings are far the BEST!  They are so far ahead of bring a trailer and the others, it’s incredible!!!!

Robert W.

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

I am THRILLED with my purchase through ACC Auctions, they helped me get a fantastic deal!  The seller was a classic car dealership and made finalizing the process very easy.

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

I love how with ACC, they keep working with the buyer and seller to try to get a deal done even after the live auction ends.  They really work hard to make sure both sides end up happy.

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Joe and ACC have been successful selling numerous vehicles for me with clear communications and no hassles. I recommend them highly.

Andy C, Laguna Classic Cars

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

I’ve sold a couple cars through ACC Auctions and have experienced very satisfactory results. I find the process to list a car, place bids, and ask questions or make comments extremely simple, which is greatly appreciated by those who didn’t grow up with modern technology. The greatest benefit, though, is having the ability to communicate directly with the person in charge, Joe, and receiving timely responses. I don’t find this easily available with most widely known auction sites.

Mike B.

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Joe and his team are always a pleasure to deal with. They are quick to answer any questions or concerns that a seller or buyer would have. Always willing to work with the seller and buyer to make a sale happen. The auction site is easy to navigate and user friendly. I have been dealing with Joe for many years and would highly recommend him and his team.

Denis D.

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

I have purchased multiple vehicles through ACC auctions. I have a real passion for classic rare stock performance vehicles. ACC has managed to list some very unique cars, some of which I’ve been fortunate enough to win at auction. I’ve always received extraordinarily punctual high-quality service when I had questions or needed support through a transaction. I’ve even recommended friends marketing vehicles to use ACC auctions to assist them with their transactions. If I recommend them to my friends, I would certainly recommend to anybody!

“Shorty”

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

ACC Auctions has been a wonderful resource for us and our dealership! The process of listing vehicles on ACC Auctions is very simple and the wide exposure has helped us reach more buyers and get more cars sold. There have been times where reserves have not been met, but even after the auction has ended Joe works very hard trying to put deals together that work for both parties. And in many cases, he’s been successful. We can’t say enough about how much he cares about his customers and how hard he works to be a world-class auction site!

Jon & Lauren C, Cody’s Classic Cars

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

I have sold 26 items (and counting!) on ACC, and I have to say that the ACC site is powerful and easy to work with and Joe is friendly, professional, supportive, and responsive. ACC has been great for my business!! I would highly recommend ACC to anyone looking to sell their vehicle.

Greg S.

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

As a seller with ACC, we have experienced several successes and continue to use the platform. ACC auctions offers a straightforward and efficient platform for both buyers and sellers of classic car enthusiasts. Their online interface makes listing, browsing, and bidding on vehicles convenient, while the selection includes a variety of classics and rare finds. With their professional approach and transparent process, ACC Auctions is a reliable choice for seasoned collectors and newcomers alike.
