Saw this on jalopyjournal.com, it seems to be from a website called floridamemory.com. Never saw a setup like that, was it factory or a homebrew?

Wow! A Junior! Definitely home brew.


I love interesting pics like that!

Good find of a cool vintage picture. They probably were darn proud of that setup.

LOL... wonder if some engineers from Dietz, Federal Signal and Sireno saw that photo all those years ago and thought "hmmmmmmmm..... imagine if we combined it all into one beacon....."

I agree that is a old Florida star, maybe Duval County.
