1977, Outlaw Blues, at the very end of the movie is a boat chase. The police boats have twin Red and Blue Vitalites:

- Start date
Grabbed some screen caps of the cruisers. Ford and Federal sponsored, lol 
Suction cup mount. This was used before magnet mount lights. The first portable magnet mount light was the Whelen Roto-Beam RB10 in 1955/56. The next was the Federal Fire Ball FB-1 in August 1956.
Interesting use of, I believe, vitalites, in the Dukes of Hazzard season 6 
AHHH. Nothing like the "Dukes of Hazzard" to watch some backwoods police corruption go wrong and good car crashes. My second favorite is "Sheriff Lobo".
That's a contender for most the rebadged beacon ever. I think they are all made by North American Signal. But I've seen them rebadged by many companies. Yankee comes to mind. On a sidenote North American still makes these!

I love the fact that they had CTS domes "lying around" probably so they used two driver side domes on one bar.

The wife was watching The House of Dark Shadows, from 1970. Saw these police cars with Model 17's and two Dietz 7-50s mounted on a bar. Not a bad looking setup.
I wonder how many surviving 1959 Miller-Meteor combination coaches were made up to look like Ecto-1?
likely the majority. Each time a stock ones comes up it is a safe bet they are in some level of conversion. It is too popular with too few available. The street cred is far too tempting. While I love Ecto, I love to see it in its original/similar livery.
So I have a Smokey And The Bandit question. I noticed that there was no siren speaker on the roof. Were they doing behind the grille speakers around '77, or was this an oversight by production?
If the sheriff's department is fictitious, it is most likely an oversight.
A screenshot from the movie "Miami Supercops" (1985). This is actually an Italian-produced film. It's so bad I insist you watch just the opening credits for laughs. An hysterically bad ripoff of Miami Vice.
.. anyway, a very cool shot of a group of Hialeah police cars (Impalas and Diplomats) all outfitted with Florida-made Southern VP 202-series lightbars.

Either or. While unmarked cars were the primary application, it wasn't unheard of for underhood mounting in marked cruisers.

I'm guessing this was filmed in Canada. That's a full Dominion Automotive lightbar setup. Those were pretty popular, especially in Ontario, 40yrs ago.
