Spotlight on this 1972 Dodge Squad 51 Replica from the TV Show EMERGENCY!

This 1972 Dodge D-300 carries a Squad 51 replica body built on a cab originally purchased from the Alna Fire Department in Maine. The exterior is finished in red with black interior and two doors. Compartments hold vintage equipment that has been donated from sources across the country, adding visible layers of period detail inside and out. The replica draws from the well-known 1970s television series and gives productions a recognizable rescue truck that fits scenes set in that decade.

Producers can use the truck for establishing shots of a fire station or for background texture during emergency sequences. The red body and loaded compartments supply immediate visual cues that read as 1970s paramedic response without additional set dressing. Its presence in WILTON, Maine also shortens travel time for crews already working in central Maine locations.

Maine Picture Cars and the Maine Picture Car Market

Maine Picture Cars maintains a focused inventory of vehicles suited to productions shooting across the state. WILTON, Maine serves as the home base for this particular listing, which means local crews gain easier access compared with vehicles sourced from farther away. The site works with productions that range from independent films to national commercials that need authentic regional vehicles.

USA Movie Cars partners with state picture-car sites such as Maine Picture Cars to connect productions with locally based vehicles. This network approach lets location managers search Maine picture car rental options first and still reach a broader national pool when needed. Productions filming in Maine benefit from shorter transit times and vehicles already familiar with local roads and weather conditions.

History of the 1972 Dodge Squad 51 Replica from the TV Show EMERGENCY!

The replica began with a 1972 Dodge D-300 cab sourced from the Alna Fire Department in Maine. An original paramedic rescue body was located on the West Coast, removed from long-term storage, and transported back to Maine for installation. The cab showed low mileage and required minimal work, while the body received the necessary mechanical attention to return it to usable condition. Vintage equipment now fills the compartments, most of it donated by individuals around the country.

The original Squad 51 vehicle from the 1970s series EMERGENCY! resides at the Los Angeles County Fire Museum. This replica stands apart from that museum piece and carries no affiliation with the museum. Its construction places it squarely in the era of 1970s fire and rescue apparatus, giving productions a truck that matches the visual language of that decade without relying on modern apparatus.

Maine Picture Car Rental Uses

Crews can place the truck in period scenes set during the 1970s or in any production that needs a classic rescue vehicle as a character element. The red body and compartment details work well for establishing shots outside a fire station or for background action during emergency response sequences. Still photographers and music video directors can also use the truck as a stationary prop that supplies instant era context.

Event planners and branded content creators sometimes request the vehicle for displays or photo opportunities tied to emergency services themes. Because the truck is based in WILTON, Maine, productions shooting in central and western Maine can incorporate it with minimal additional logistics. The replica supplies texture that modern fire trucks cannot match when the script calls for 1970s authenticity.
