July 2023 Newsletter

Welcome to the July 2023 Newsletter!

We hope this update finds you doing well and having a great Summer!

Forgive us for keeping it a bit short this month. We just received another full container of models and are in the middle of shipping out over 1000 backorders. In times like this, we stop everything we're doing and it's all hands on deck to get shipments out the door. Oh, and the pending UPS strike has us quite motivated to see these beautiful replicas in the hands of our customers before things potentially get crazy!

On this shipment we received the LAFD Heavy Utility and Pierce Arrow XT pumpers...as well as the FDNY Collapse Rescues and another batch of the 9/11 Memorial Ladder 343. They all look great and we're excited to get them in your hands!

This month we'll release the Pierce Arrow XT Tillers for LAFD as well as the classic 1973 Chicago Ward LaFrance Ambassador P80 Engines. For you FDNY fans, you might enjoy a welcomed break this month. But if you must add a replica to your collection, take another look at one of the 200 models we still have in stock of the 645 we've produced since 2015. Check out the LOW STOCK category for the most urgent considerations.

This month's "On the Horizon" model is the Miami-Dade Sutphen pumper...due to arrive later in the year. Take a look below!

Scroll for more updates...and as always, thank you again for being part of an elite group of fire apparatus collectors!
