I had forgotten how funny http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093886/?ref_=nv_sr_2 this movie was. The FD training scenes are classic.

I remember that movie. It was the modern take on "Cyrano de Bergerac" and I recall that we watched this in 4th grade after reading the story. It was well done and Steve played the part well. BTW, that Blazer is slick-looking.

Burt Lancaster getting in the limo. HPD paint and decal seems to be accurate. Don't remember what kind of bars they had in '83.

I never notice "The Police" before, thats funny.

Anyone recognize the door emblems?

Hubcaps are wrong.

 

[CrownVic97]

Same door emblem like on Buford T. Justice's LeMans. Ha! That's funny

Wouldn't doubt they used it since both movies came out that year. Interesting factoid from the movie, the vehicle used as "the car" was a heavily modified 1971 Lincoln Continental Mark III done by the famous George Barris.


Those Signal Stat/Yankee Cal-Spec versions and the one car with the cans are elusive and spendy if found!

CrownVic97: All fantastic additions. Thanks for sharing.

Also.. just noticing use of the California-style steady burn reds in.. Chicago (The Negotiator)!

 

[7d9_z28]

Gumball Rally is one of my favorite movies, just watched it again yesterday! Grand Theft Auto is on my list to watch soon.

 

[CrownVic97]

There will be more coming soon, just gotta think of some more !

[JazzDad]

Crushed? Do you realize where you are, man? This is eLightbars and such talk is sacrilege... this is blasphemy... this is, er, something we'd all like to see.

I was watching Iron Resurrection on the Velocity network this last week & saw an Amber & GREEN Whelen 5200 strobe beacon atop an old tow-truck wrecker in a junk yard. Unsure of the junk yard it was in, but hopefully someone on here saw the episode too (it's the episode with the 1947 milk truck being found at the junk yard in the desert).

 

[CrownVic97]

Hate to say it, BMD, but I bet those two chucked those Whelens right into the dumpster. Never can say for sure though unless they filmed it.

 

[JazzDad]

Lights are worth about 10 times what the truck is.

We used our demo Tahoe to film the "Swat approach" scene for the upcoming movie "Incursion" (aka "Drone"), which stars Sean Bean (yes, the Sean Bean). They even let me drive it. It was a lot of fun, though we spent 4 hours filming for what's sure to be a 5 second clip.

 

[JazzDad]

... what's sure to be a 5 second clip.

Or end up cut in the final edit.

You could really spend some time on this website:

Beside the emergency vehicles, be sure to look at other categories, too. Especially, click Rental Accessory Equipment then LIGHTBAR.

Thanks Jazz, there goes my afternoon.
