March 5, 1962
The year after the Deputy Chiefs (shift commanders) received a brand new 1961 Ford sedan, Chief V. Paul Leddy was issued a brand new white 1962 Rambler sedan, purchased from Goodman Motors for $2,971.50.  The new car replace the 1956 Pontiac that was originally issued to former chief, Raymond C. Spencer.  This was when the department was still in it's short-lived "white" period, which lasted from 1958 until 1965.  Department records indicate that this car was junked by 1971.

Pictured (L-R) are Chief Leddy, Fire Commission President Elton Wetmore, and Stewart Goodman, of Goodman Motors in Hamden, which continued to sell American Motors autos until the 1970s.
