Classic Metal Works has announced a new 1973 Chevrolet C-10 short bed pickup model for 2021. The model will arrive assembled (mirrors are expected to be supplied as user-applied details) and decorated and will include authentic General Motors colors and accurate detailing. The model will come with rolling rubber tires, chrome accents, clear window material, and interior details. The project plans include tooling variations of the front grille to allow for reproduction of prototypes through 1979 model year offerings. Different bed designs are expected to include stepside and fleetwood styling. [posted 02/14/2021]
PCX (Brekina) announced at the virtual 2021 Spielwarenmesse that the four-part ladder of the Ferrara Ultra FD-00 Rear mount Aerial Ladder (top photo) will be extendable. Two almost identical New York engines (shown above) will be offered both as Seagrave Marauder II (procured around 2012) and KME Severe Service (procured in 2015). The Fire Department of New York (FDNY) demands the use of identical cabins and superstructures in numerous tenders, so that the vehicles of the two manufacturers are largely the same. However, differences between manufacturers such as grille panels or roof boxes should be taken into account. Delivery is anticipated later in 2021. [posted 02/01/2021]
