Would you like to see C3 develop a "Classic" line?

Yeah, I'd be up for some classics, too. Mack, Pirsch, Hahn, ALF, older Seagraves.....the list goes on.

The B and L model Macks have been done by other companies in other scales. I would hate to see valuable money wasted by re-inventing the wheel. There are so many other more historically significat rigs that could be done, even though the FDNY did not use them. Those striking Hahn's of the DCFD. Those long nose Seagrave Anniversary Edition engines that almost everyone had at least one of. The mans truck, the Maxim S model. Least we forget Chicago's mighty FWD's. At one time or another most any fire department in the US, minus the FDNY had an ALF 900 or ALF 1000 series. And you would have to include the FDNY in the ALF 700. And let us not neglect the mother of all fire apparatus, the Snorkel. Can I get an "amen".

I would love to see some Maxims too. 60's and 70's stuff rocked.

I would love a line of classic collectibles. My grandfather was on the first motorized aerial ladder in New Orleans and I would love to get great quality models of the equipment he worked with throughout his career with that department. He went from a tillerman on the last horse-drawn aerial to the rank of Captain on engine and ladder companies. Sign me up for some great models of the great classics.

Any classic Mack from the 40's to 80's would be awesome especially with FDNY but would also love to see classic Seagreaves and Am. LaFrance Century doors engines,ladders and TDA Also Maxim and Hahns wouls also be a big hit with the people that collect Boston rigs

<p align="left">I'd LOVE to see Code 3 create a classic line of models from the '50s and '60s!</p><p align="left">Any manufacturer, any model. We all know them. How about a tillered wooden aerial, the mainstay of many big city department ladder fleets into the '60s?</p><p align="left">Also, let's not forget there are lots more big city departments out there than FDNY. Newark, NJ has had classic rigs of all shapes and sizes, and with a new administration in charge now, I'm sure they'd be more than happy to co-operate with Code 3 in producing a model or two. That's my two cents. Here's a couple of Newark classics: </p>

I vote for a Mack B model and R model rescue trucks done In FDNY colors that way they can make most people happy looking for classics and those of us that what FDNY rigs both models are way over due to be produced in 1/64 and I would also throw in my vote for a FDNY Mack C model tower ladder or Am. LaFrance Century TDA all would be big hits with collectors and kitbash and would surely sell out quick Thats just my 2 cents and thanks for a place to give my opinion

A true vintage, classic series, or even a single model, is LONG overdue from Code 3. I've bought all of Yat Ming's 1:43rd vintage trucks and many of them in 1:24th (until I ran out of space), but I've only bought one Code 3 fire truck in the past 2 years. I don't know why the first post limited the choice only to those 3 - they're OK with me and obviously many models could be made from one mold, but almost anything made between 1930 and 1970 would be great, in my opinion.

A Model Mack--The "Smaller" line of Macks
E Model Mack--Also smaller
F Model Maxim-Cab forward
S Model Maxim-LONG hood

These were classics, not every station had them, but those who did loved them.

THE ONE THING I HAVE ALWAYS LIKED ABOUT THERE LINES, IS THEY HAVE THE CURRENT FIRETRUCKS THAT I AM DRIVING TODAY. THERE ARE ALREADY PLENTY OF COMPANYS MAKING THE OLDER SYLES.

I would love to see a dedicated Code 3 Classics line with maybe two to four releases per year in the time warp from 1920 to 1990. There are so many manufacturers both present and past to choose from and so many great pieces of apparatus that would sell well. I would also like to see a Military Line with two releases per year covering apparatus from WWII to present day IRAQ. The last new line that I would like to see would be a World Wide Line featuring up to four releases per year of apparatus from around the world. If other companies can release fire apparatus from around the world why cannot Code 3 put their talents to work recreating some of those foreign rigs. If Code 3 will make them they will sell in many markets.

I agree 1 classic per quarter would be great,but the cutoff for classics would be late 60's early 70's....... into the 90's would be more modern day...

I agree. There are dozens, if not more, of companies doing the old stuff. I think Code 3 would be better off sticking to a modern equipment niche. If they start going in every direction (such as classics, non-U.S., military, etc) they start losing their core customer base and dilute the brand. It will also drive up the cost of making more molds and tooling and also R & D.

If there are "dozens" of companies making classic fire trucks, how about enlightening those of us who want them by posting a list of those companies? Corgi and Yat Ming are the main ones - they're very good, but that's far from dozens and their releases are far apart. First Gear makes some nice ones occasionally, but they're an odd scale and usually "generic" rather than representing actual apparatus or departments. Del Prado has a few classic trucks in their line but their scales and accuracy are all over the map and they make at least as many modern apparatus types as vintage...

my answers
B.
and probably F.

You got my vote its really unique code3 should take this in consideration.

I would love to see what Code3 could do with an Ahrens-Fox. That would make a nice compare/ contrast piece sitting next to all of the modern rigs.

ALF 700 & 900s especially open cab tillers + 900 series open-cab pumper with high side compartments on pump side
Mack B & Cs open cabs
Seagrave 70th Anniversary open cab ladders
Seagrave cab forward '60-'70
1960 ALF 900 series heavy rescue served Lindenhurst, NY

this is a no brainer...just look at yat ming and corgi...seems like all they do are the classics...as long as code 3 keeps them to the major cities...i mean. who would not like a mack from anywhere from the 30's to the 50's.
