![]() ![]() The name that hasn't yet appeared in this thread is Simplex, which is the missing link between Mercedes and La France. I am always keen to learn - and maybe these cars should get better appreciation ?Įdited by Ralf Pickel, 29 November 2010 - 16:12. If anybody knows any answers, I would appreciate if they could be posted here. LaFrance owners always tell that the company built cars too, which,of course, is true.īut- here are my questions- have theh few cars had the same sized frames as the "racers" built today as conversions from period fire trucks ? Have the originals ever been raced and would the modern rebuilds really be at least a bit correct ?Īlso, I have heared that supposedly a few of the Mercedes Edwardians that should have Mercedes built Simplex engines run indeed with LaFrance engines with the LaFrance simply ground off. To me they always semm out of proportion, simply too big even for Edwardian racers. Quite a few of them are senn at events, they are especially popular on the continent over here. Since there are quite a few experts on early American race history around here, I would like to have some questions about above mentioned cars, actually the ones running around as racers converted from fire trucks. ![]()
