From the Towering Inferno, 1974.Classic! Check out the security guard.....
The replica has two Model 14 Beacons. The actual '73 Blazer had a Model 11 Twin Beacon Ray. Not a bad replica by any means, though. I think it's one of those overlooked on-screen vehicles from a well-known flick.
I like that '73 Chevy van Type II rig. I had a '73 Chevy wide-bodied Superior Type II ambulance that I bought in 1987 for my standby service. It came from a mountainous area of Nevada and had standard shift. Got good gas mileage.The A-Team (TV Series)

I've seen these shots before and had always thought that those were B&M Super Chief sirens on those black-and-whites. They're not..they're B&M S8BS sirens (streamlined Siro-Drifts).It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963)

Here you go. In the last picture you can actually see the light came off the roof and is hanging by it's cord next to the driver's side headlight.

Standard issue in the "old days" when it was normal to have a teardrop or vitalite get blown off the roof and be bouncing down the road flashing next to the driver.....
Those Tripp Lites sure didn't produce much warning power in that desert sun. I've always thought those reflectors were too big and not properly focused around the bulb for sufficient flash-power.Those are Tripp Lites with a single reflector rotating around a stationary bulb.
I've got a halogen teardrop Tripp Lite and had to bend the reflector just so that the focal point was right. Tripp Lite had nailed the sealed beam sector, but when it comes to the parabolic reflector side, they didn't take into account that you need to have that reflector adjusted right to produce a good signal.I totally agree. I had 2 of them, and your assessment is correct. They leave a lot to be desired
