This is probably what they had installed in their car :D

Those look like PA20As. Where I live I can remember a couple of ambulances running dual PA20As - one was a late 1960s model with the low-pitched tones and the other was a 1970s model with high-pitched tones. The low pitched wail and high-pitched yelp sounded kinda neat together.:)

Had to, the way they were driven and destroyed !!

Besides, from a purely technical pov, a 12 or 14 hour long shooting day usually entails filming several episodes. So if a couple cars are made available for a particular schedule, they actually might end up visible over several episodes afterwards.
And as a consequence, consecutive scenes, although chronologically happening within minutes, may show a different car between, say, the moment they park up and enter the building, and ten minutes later when they come out from same building...

Saw this last night in a cheesy 1971 movie Dracula vs Frankenstein. An Amber - Red Visibar. I think the siren is a WG. Is suppose to be in Venice, California.

Is that a Sireno Condor lightbar (second to last picture, white caprice, red/blue lightbar)?
Tis so! I caught that too. Wonder where they pulled that from?
