Greetings...and welcome to the June 2023 Newsletter. I hope this month's edition finds you well, and enjoying the start to your Summer.
For us, the month of June means extensive out of state travel as we continue to visit departments for development photography and head up to Macungie, PA for the annual Antique Truck Club of America show. Putting the finishing touches on our new warehouse and shipping facility means we are burning the candle at both ends.
We made a small change this year to begin bringing in only full containers of product, which means we now receive a shipment every 6-8 weeks, instead of 4-5. This translates to a different pace for our sample arrivals and product marketing content. So if you're wondering why the newsletter is a bit tardy each month this year, it is likely because we have been waiting for our production samples in order to create our release schedule for each month. Thanks for your patience!
Our ongoing intention is to have a new release each Thursday of the month, except the first week when we focus on month end duties, inventory reconciliation, and other operational tasks. Keep an eye out for each newsletter and you won't miss a new announcement!
Last month, we received FDNY's 1996 HME Rescues and the newest spec Seagrave pumpers, as well as the Washington D.C. Fire & EMS Seagrave Tillers. Both releases have been quite popular and only a handful of some station rigs are still available.
In the month of May, we released the FDNY Spartan and Mack MR Collapse Units and our first releases for L.A. City Fire Department...the Crown/Holmes Heavy Utility. The Heavy Utility models proved to be especially popular.
This month, we will begin accepting orders for the 2017-2020 Los Angeles Fire Department Pierce Arrow XT Pumpers, as well as the much-anticipated FDNY Ferrara Haz-Mat 1. Mark your calendars for these exciting new models!
Our list of Low Stocks continues to grow and a host of replicas sold out last month. Remember, our production quantities are intentionally kept very low so that we can continue to sell through inventory at a good pace...allowing us to produce a more expansive line of models. See below for a snapshot of our Low Stocks.
Each month, we try to give a glimpse as to what is on the horizon. Scroll down to see the first photo of the upcoming Prince George's County Fire/EMS Department Pierce Enforcer Pumper. Stay tuned...more details to come this Fall!
More updates are below...and as always, thank you again for being part of an elite group of fire apparatus collectors!
