This late 1990s Elgin Eagle street sweeper mounted on a Ford Cargo was built by David Flynn. The model is made using the sweeper body from a Maisto toy and the cab and chassis from a Rietze truck. The gutter broom is from a Matchbox 3-wheel sweeper and the pickup broom is a pipe cleaner. The Maisto body is shorter than the prototype but David says it had to be good enough. The model is painted to match a prototype in the Town of Smithtown (NY) Highway Department. The decals are homemade.
