Today, I picked up a different bar with a good bit of history. As many of you may know, I work for a large ambulance company here in NYC. Another company that used to be in NYC was AMR, which is known nation wide. Years ago, AMR in NYC shut down and the company I work for bought a good number of their used ambulances to add to our fleet. Most of these trucks are from 2001-2003, so now they're slowly all being retired and I jumped on this lightbar. All the old AMR trucks have the same interesting lightbar, which is a Whelen 9000 series with 4 front-facing strobes (two red and two white), and 3 KKK-compliant flashers that are individually wired to flash with the rest of the truck's KKK-spec perimeter lights. I don't believe that I have seen this model of lightbar on any other vanbulance aside from old NYC AMR trucks. I'll polish it up and tear it apart when I have the time. This is the older version, which uses twist-lock helix type strobes and dual halogen flasher modules. The newer versions have linear strobes and single halogen flashers.
