Assembly pics of Chicago's 1973-1975 American LaFrance Ladder scale models

The American LaFrance Trucks that Chicago Fire Department used in the 1970's were truly classic. Producing replicas of these beautiful rigs small enough to take home, is a painstaking process. Over 18 months, each of the hundreds of intricately detailed parts are designed, cast or fabricated, painted, decorated, and trimmed...then organized in small bins, ready for assembly. There is no substitute for the laborious tasks that each of the 35 skilled men and women perform. It is a sight to see as each team member patiently adheres each part to another, consistently analyzing the end result. As you scroll down the assembly pictures, take notice of the parts on each workstation and you will gain a greater appreciation for the process. And don't forget to add these Classic American LaFrance Ladder Chiefs to your Chicago collection.

    This is a perfect add to my collection with Truck/Tower 21's. Awesome job on the replication of the American LaFance Ladder Chief.
