Vintage Media Incorporated celebrates, preserves, and shares the history and ongoing evolution of firefighting, fire apparatus, motor coaches, and transportation through our publications, events, and special projects.
We publish Fire Apparatus Journal (FAJ), Vintage Fire Truck & Equipment (VFT&E), and Motor Coach & Travel Journal (MC&TJ).
FAJ focuses on modern fire apparatus, departments, industry developments, specifications, and apparatus photography. VFT&E covers historic and preserved fire apparatus and the stories behind them. MC&TJ covers motor coaches, buses, transportation history, travel, restorations, rallies, and the people who keep the hobby moving.
We offer print, digital, and print + digital subscriptions. Available options vary by publication.
Your subscription begins with the appropriate current or upcoming issue, based on the publication schedule and when your order is processed.
The number of issues depends on the publication and subscription you select. The product page lists the issues included with each subscription.
Renewal options depend on the payment method and renewal choice for your subscription.
