Recently acquired this vintage Unity Unirack II light bar. It resembles the set up that the Detroit PD used back in the 70's. The major difference is that some of theirs were equipped with the blue Spitfire domes, which I would love to add to this bar some day. For now it will have to display the solid blue domes. It has (2) Unity RV-25s and an Atlas Siren. Overall the bar is in excellent condition and works perfectly.002 (2).JPG 004 (2).JPG 005 (2).JPG

That is super sweet and I'm jealous! I would love a find like that! I must say, however, I can't believe it really works unless, of course, you've got video...

That picture brought back a flood of memories............
I can remember back in the 70's, going up to Detroit for a
police funeral. There were a couple of K9 cars there that were
Ford Torinos. They had those lightbars but they had broken off
the "To" from the emblems on the side of the cars and they called themselves "Rino" cars. WOW........blast from the past.

It isn't a picture of the lightbar in use. The picture and the lightbar are not the same.

GOOD LUCK finding BLUE spitfire domes for the RV25 lights.
His bar gets it as close as possible, these days.
I'd kill for his bar (can't afford it) but I'd love that version with the
4 sealed beam beacons.

Anyone have a pic of that ??
