Dang! Wished I'd gotten that. I've been wanting a Philly PD red Twin with the blue Sireno beacon on them like they ran in the mid-70s when I went to college there. Hope he can find a less faded Sireno dome.

Wow. Did not know the PD ran them. I would of liked to see behind the grill. Any reason why the did this set up? Did they always run both lights together?

Here are two photos of Philly PD cars with the blue light on top of the lightbar. I actually asked a couple guys about that lightbar and someone told me it wasn't a Philly PD bar. I wasn't sure so I didn't bid on it.

The beacon in post # 1 is 100% a early version Whelen 88 light without skirt/base. I have definitely seen Sireno used in the same way on Philly bars , but not this one.

From the research I've done, the Philly bars ran the Sireno beacon. Don't know about where the bar in the OP came from, but Philly PD definitely ran that setup in the mid-70s.
