Crown Firecoach Midmount Aerial.

This picture shows a Crown/Maxim midmount 100ft Aerial Ladder from I believe the 1970's of the Coronado Fire Department situated just across the bay from San Diego,Califonia.
The photograph was taken in 1990 while on a trip to southern California,I'm just sorry I didn't get any more details on this typical American Ladder Truck to share with you.
