In 1951, the Seagrave Corporation marked it's 70th year in the fire apparatus industry with the introduction of its first all-new postwar fire apparatus design. Seagrave's "70th Anniversary Series", as the new model was known, enjoyed one of the longest continuous production runs in U.S. fire apparatus history - 19 years. It was intended to compete with American La France’s radical cab forward / midship engine Type 700, but the Anniversary Model differed little from its predecessors of the 1930s and 40s beyond styling. Its engine, pump, and hose carrying capabilities were the same. But the Anniversary Series was very well received in the fire service because of the high quality of its construction and the reliability of the drive train and pump. Almost 2,000 were built over the next dozen years.   Twenty eight Quads were built. Quads were popular in small towns which had relatively few fires and which sought to combine the roles of a ladder truck and engine. A quad carried at least 200 linear feet of ground ladders, many more ladders than the more common “triple” engine, which usually carried a single extension ladder and a roof ladder. It also carried a full size pump, a booster tank, and at least 1200 feet of large diameter hose. Most of these trucks stayed in service until the early 1980s, when they were refurbished and placed in reserve. This quad was used by the fire department of Oak Lawn, Illinois. This quad stayed in service until the early 1980s, when it was refurbished and placed in reserve. Its original V-12 gasoline engine was replaced by an equally powerful 8 cylinder Cummins diesel. Oak Lawn proudly displayed an "ISO 1" rating. Less than 40 fire departments in the United States have this rating. A consortium of insurance companies gives a rating, from 1 to 15, to every municipality in the U.S. that applies for fire insurance. Class 1 has the lowest rates because its fire protection system is judged to be the best possible. I had made a lot of photos of this model that I had seen in the famous HALL OF FLAME in Phoenix (Az). A 6 years old model totaly revisited for Poser. It appears that I am working better and better after my 15 years of 3d modeling pratice! My "old" models are not perfect and they need a lot of work to become like I need my models to be now! The doors can be opened, the steering wheels and the wheels turn together like in reality, the doors glasses can be moved up or down, the wheels can rotate and the wipers can...wipe the windscreen.
