Fire Apparatus Model Forums

Just wanted to share this because I am sure people collect other things besides Police, Fire, EMS. Fire Replicas now specializing in trucks, here's one of the first being shown at the American Historical Truck Society National Convention in Reno this weekend. This is a 1954 Autocar DC-75.

WOW!!! Thanks for the info Joe. Do you know if future product sales to the general public will be listed on the FR current website or will they be making a new site for the civilian products? I would think they would want to keep everything together, and gain a bigger customer base that way.

Troy, Looks as if there is already a page on fire replica's website and some other trucks already planned! How neat!

Very exciting stuff. it was only a matter of time before they moved into something different like that.

Thanks for sharing Joe.

Troy, I emailed you a news letter, Steven got the link to you. These trucks will be for general public on the websites when the release come out. The company will still be called Fire Replicas, I think the truck series will start out like the fire series a little slow smaller quantities until that collector base grows. There are several different types of trucks being planned, Autocar really worked with Fire Replicas after the Chicago Autocar squads came out to do some vintage Semi Tractor's. It's no secret that Fire Replicas did get license agreements with Western Star, AutoCar, Frieghtliner, Mack to mention a few. I was lucky enough to go with Nicholas on the photoshoot in Ohio, I was in awe at the collection of Tractors that these guys had from the 50's, 60's, and 70's I almost thought of getting rid of fire trucks lol. If Chris will let you use facebook you can see some cool Autocar stuff at https://www.facebook.com/AutocarTrucks/.

This is exciting!
