On Saturday, February 28, 2009, the truck earned it's Senior first place award at the Southeastern Winter Meet of the AACA. This national award is on top of it's Junior win in 2007. It was a great week for the truck as we also learned that the Corgi model of it (2,500 copies) are being released in June. Two of the five judges are already at work on the driver's side of the vehicle.
Participants are not allowed to know the vehicle's score, or to see the judges sheets or comments. An overall summary is available at a later date. The color of the engine is the official color of DETROIT DIESELS: ALPINE GREEN.
The emergency equipment on the truck - lights, sirens, radios - are all consistent with the late 1960s.
