Thats a cool! That looks like an oldMetro police that was converted after the merger! Still has the metro lightbar and plate! I'd pay a lot of money for that bar and plate !

Its more the dome configuration than the bar, simply an EAH model. Steve Anderson knows the exact config, it is quite different. I would say it would be difficult to near impossible to find an MDC lensed bar, so it would probably bring some cash if it was in nice shape. Now nothing says you can't just order them from FS.

I just picked one of these up today, the bar looks to have had the speaker section blacked out, with the word HOLMES showing through in stainless, the domes are all amber with 1 clear section in the outboard rear sections on each dome, the bar works but the motor will barely turn the lights, it needs work the one end is rusty and had water in it when i got it,
pics to come soon, but the odd thing that I noticed is that this bar has NO work / loading lights, under the clear sections are red (coated) glass par36 s/t/t lights , not the typical metal housing style you find in the 25RWL bars, the other front and rear par 36 bulbs are hooked to a 550 flasher and they simultaneously flash. my bar also has the "side flash" bulk head mirrors, it has 2 gear drive rotators just like the bar above, there is however a small curcit board with some diodes and stuff mounted above the factory terminal strip, it also looks factory .
the domes don't look that great, but there arent any cracks and I think I can make them displayable.
did I mention that it was 15.00????
and ryan, if your reading i picked up a Model 12 Twinsonic , with 2 red domes, but the kicker is a OOOOOOLLD Galls sticker on the siren speaker cover. , and this one was 25.00, but after the nice seller deducted the 50% off discount for a fellow fire fighter it cost me a whole 12.00

$15 ??????????? I guess "free" would be the ultimate deal of the century, but this one is definitely in the same category. I'm wondering if your 25RWL is an early production example since it has PAR-36 s/t/t lamps. Look for a date on the motor, that might yield some info.Shawn L said:

Eric. The bar on the MSP cruiser with the METRO decal on the speaker housing is a MDC bar. The Metropolitan District Comission Police Department was absorbed along with the Registry Of Motor Vehicles Police in the early 90's. The config on the bar was as follows:
FRONT PASS TO DRIVER: CBBR/SP/CBBB
REAR DRIVER TO PASS: RARC/SP/BBBAB
Driver endcap was red with the alley cut out and the passenger was blue with the alley cut out.
Rare bars....very rare.....

From what I have found and I am sure others will second this. The flat head were far more popular. The allen heads were used primarily as a theft deterrant. They actually use an open head allen key like you would use for security screws on your license plate. These were used with LAPD in my experience and maybe others as well.

I remember i had a nypd aero and it allens and screws. It just drove me crazy. But then again in NY you need allens to secure your stuff lol
