CHRYSLER SIREN QUESTIONS- PLEASE ANSWER

[holler]

And when my truck stalls in the middle of an intersection, get T-boned and die, I will know who to blame...

EXACTLY, I would LOVE to see someone try that trick with my old 82 Dodge D-150 with a slant-6, super lean Holley 1945 1-barrel carb, no choke, and chrysler's leanburn ignition.

I used to put a brick on the gas pedal of my Duster to keep it idled up on cold mornings while I was eating breakfast so I could have some heat when when I got in the car.

Here are some nice pics

This is gone now


The rest I have no idea

It is gone because it is being restored.

The Rochester Chrysler has moved across the street and been placed atop another municipal building. It has also been painted bright red. Rochester has no intrest in either restoring the machine or preserving it beyond putting red paint on it.
Current pictures of the machine are at the end of this article.

""The warning device was mounted on the roof near the observation tower, a wartime lookout station used to scout for the enemy. ""

An interesting comment on the time the Chryslers were made. Very few people recall the Ground Observer Corps, a group of people who spent their evenings sitting in 6' x 8' plywood shacks and other government owned facilitys along the Canadian border and South shore of the Great Lakes looking for Russian bombers.

The program had a great initial kickoff, often with parades to the shack in small towns. Volunteer observers seemed to fall away from the program as television arrived in American households since all of the shacks lacked toilets.

I would guess that the Civil Air Patrol took up the slack from the ground folks
