[Reno911]

[Reno911]

 

[Skip Goulet]

Yes, with red/ blue split.

Neat! That's what I have on the rear deck of my POV. Currently is red/clear, but just got a blue half-dome for it.

Old school- still gets the job done, though.

 

[JazzDad]

The duct tape is the clincher!

 

[mjberryjr]

We no longer have the car or the lights but it was funny when we took this pic a few years ago.

 

[JazzDad]

Spoiler lights! :salivate: [As he runs from his computer to talk to the JazzDad development engineers...]

I never even considered the possibility! :haha:

 

[mdlighting]

To meet CA spec it needs to have flashing amber to the rear.
That is the purpose of the amber PAR 46 on the left side of the beacon.

Oh sorry it looked red on my phone and I always thought that the amber was a requirement to wow learn something new every time I get on here

 

[JennyCop]

Nice Jenny! A couple of weeks ago a guy eluded the cops over in Martin County, almost running over one of the deputies, and until late last week has been on the run. He was stopped earlier in the week just outside the Midland International Airport, but took off on foot when officer smelled "drugs" in the car.....a nice looking new Dodge Challenger. He was caught hiding at a friend's house, so he's now in custody. I wonder if they're going to sell that nice looking Challenger at auction (soon I hope).

 

[JazzDad]

Is it too late for another contest entry? I don't have one- I was just wondering. :bonk:

 

[JohnMarcson]

We will keep the contest open until we get 100 entries.

 

[ford-dealer]

We will keep the contest open until we get 100 entries.

What is the current count?

 

[Reno911]

What is the current count?

I thought I had posted the approx #. It must have not gone through or was taken off. Was in the 40's.

 

[JazzDad]

Only in the 40's? I'm gonna be an old(er) man before I win this contest.

 

[nerdly_dood]

I'm busy joining the Air Force and I ship out in March, don't make me go buy an AeroTwin for my Taurus just so you've got enough entries. :haha:

 

[JohnMarcson]

I count 40 entries as well.....

 

[JazzDad]

Hmmm... If everybody would re-post their pictures twice, we'd have more than enough. :bonk:

 

[I 26]

I'm busy joining the Air Force and I ship out in March, don't make me go buy an AeroTwin for my Taurus just so you've got enough entries. :haha:

Nice - what are you doing in the AF? Man, I wish I was a citizen.

 

[Skip Goulet]

Whatsamatter? Don't you think the AF would let you run that bar on base?

 

[nerdly_dood]

Whatsamatter? Don't you think the AF would let you run that bar on base?

It might irritate my TI. Wouldn't really fit with the whole "boot camp" theme either.


Replied to I 26 by PM as I was trying to avoid going OT but... oh well. Cryptologic Linguist - airforce.com

 

[CFD125]

Ok, Here are my entries.


Some of you eLb vets will remember these:


99 CVPI with Visibar














And with a nice CTS








And of course, with a set of Trio T2's











And don't forget THELMA, my '59 Fairlane 500 Galaxie


She's sporting a blue glass dome 174!!!








And here is my new ride, '07 ex-Maine State Police CVPI sporting a GE4001R steady burn red bulb in the spotlight

 

[JennyCop]

Wow! Guess I am a ELB vet, I remember these pics! I personally like the visibar on the vics, I would so run one if my department let me. I loved the can lights on it too, would look great black and white with them on there. Thats a nice 59 Ford you got there, but I don't think she counts as an old on new entry! lol

 

[CFD125]

You are absolutely right Jenny...but Thelma felt left out, and I learned long ago not to piss off a wom... well, you know!!!


LOL.


Oh yeah, here are Grote Par 46 steady burn reds on my 2005 Suzuki Boulevard, this is a current setup. Please ingore all those nasty, newer led's.

 

[mdlighting]

And of course, with a set of Trio T2's


1 Adam 12 see the woman a 415 subject there now handle code 2

 

[dmathieu]

I think I see a winner!!!

 

[Skip Goulet]

Roger that! Those T2s are getting hard to find. I won a pair of them at a meet in SoCal in '01, and allowed a friend to keep them for me since I couldn't carry them back on the plane. He was supposed to have come to TX a few weeks later. Found out much later that he sold the lights, and when I jumped him about it, he claimed that I gave them to him. I'd like to see where they ended up.


I love the odler CVPIs. I have a '97 that's in very bad need of total restoration. But in its day, it was a fast runner. I'm not sure if I can find a pic of it, but the Odessa P.D. has a '47 Chevy coupe that was confiscated from a drug dealer several years ago. It has been painted black and white and has a pair of Federal FS3 single-faced lights on the roof with a chrome EG siren on the left fender. Nice!

 

[Captain4164]

Federal Model 184

 

[dakarm34]

Would an actively used oscilaser with a custom made dash mount count? It's in my 2010 4runner to provide more off-axis alerting.

 

[Skip Goulet]

Federal Model 184

Very nice 184, Nick. The short skirt on the 184s were somewhat rare...at least around here. One of the nicer short-skirted 184s I ever saw was on Thomas Funeral Home's '65 Dodge station wagon ambulance which was a baby blue color. The ambulance had the red 184 mounted front center with a pair of Federal LL4 red lollipops flanking the beacon and a C4B siren underhood. Nice setup.

That should be nice. I have an old red Oscilaser that came with an "L" bracket that I've been considering using as a rear deck light. Hmmm! :yes:

 

[Captain4164]

Thanks Skip. I was thinking I wanted a tall skirt, but I think the short looks real good.

 

[Skip Goulet]

Thanks Skip. I was thinking I wanted a tall skirt, but I think the short looks real good.

I would agree!

 

[RugerLC9]

Too bad I can't find my polaroid photo of my truck. If I do, I'll scan it & send it to you.


I know it's too late for the contest, but you might like the pic for kicks & grins.


I drove an 87 GMC S10 Jimmy with 2 Whelen 33H Rotabeams (amber) & a 100 watt speaker mounted on an old lightbar sub-assembly.


Wish I still had those 33H's.

I have a 33H if interested.

 

[RugerLC9]

Is it amber & how much are you asking?

 

[dmathieu]

PM inbound

 

[jradue]

Well, I am not sure if this contest is still on or not, but here is mine.

The rotator is a NOS Signal Stat 312 from the 1980's.
