If so, most of them are gathered as [L49] trucks in the IMCDb, with or without a model name. Not a L311 / L312 for sure, as these models were upgraded version of the 1948 models, and have been unveiled in 1954 while the movie was released in 1950. -- Last edit: 2015-06-19 01:35:13

DidierF ◊ 2015-12-17 07:47	Yes,I think it must be the king of the French fire trucks at that time, the Laffly BSS 163 FIN (Fourgon d'Incendie Normalisé). http://www.milinfo.org/2015/11/laffly.html (fr.wiki says "1946" for the first year.)
