Not a bad set-up in my opinion, and don't mind the knock off lightbar. The car really needs a wash though, big time!!

So, me and my buddy are in the parking lot, trying to determine which place we are going to grab lunch, and there sat this beauty. Didn't get the BEST picture, but I did get one!
It is an 80's Chrysler Fifth Avenue. According to the white decal on the white door ( :duh: ), its an escort vehicle. Also note the POW/MIA above the "escort" sign. Up top, we see a nice old lightbar with HUGE cast aluminum mounting feet, and: (2) small speakers (the kind that come with the animal sounds/siren from Wal mart) (2) short can type strobes, (2) amber/red lollipops, and in the center, an amber rotating beacon. The shiny chrome thing in the windshield on the A pillar is a fire extinguisher (odd place for a highly reflective piece of equipment). There was also various flashlights, radios, controller, etc, and The obvious antenna on the trunk. Also, a decorative license plate blocking most of the airflow to the radiator...
Not a HUGE whacker, but, wouldn't a cheap dual rotator lightbar suffice? Or, the two strobes? Either way, I thought it was neat

If I knew where he was I would have stayed longer. It was there when we got there (no other escort vehicles) and there when we left 1.5 hours later....

Around the Port Of Houston, you see A LOT of these vehicles in every kind and description being used as pilot cars. Most are for small, rinky-dink services and companies. The major ones usually use pickups or SUV's. I always thought there were some sort of state or federal law these pilot cars had to abide by, but some of the ones I've seen were WAY worse than the one pictured here.
Picture if you can a beat up Chevrolet Astro Van set up this way with a HUGE HAM radio antenna mounted in the middle of the front bumper and tied down to the roof light bar (again, a huge amber monstrosity way bigger than the vehicle) with two big orange flags on each side and a second HUGE amber light bar mounted on the rear! Seen on the east side of Houston (specifically, the I-10/Channelview area for those familiar) when I used to supervise posts in that area a few years back.

Saw this gem the other day:
It appears to have all clear lights on the front lightbar, with a red mini bar on the back. The "AMBULANCE" has been replaced with "BANDULANCE" and they have "Emergency Musical Services" on the side. I snapped this picture with my cell phone, so it's not the best. I'll be keeping an eye on it if it ever turns those lights on in my jurisdiction.

I wonder if they're functional though. I know a few PC repair places that do this kind of thing, and just get a hollow shell or have it not wired. One comes to mind that has an Arjent, red domes but amber LEDs.BigWil said:Saw this gem the other day:

This company's patrol cars are even worse. This company primarily does patrol service for some rather nasty apartment complexes and nightclubs. I wrote about this on another thread. I have a problem with private security "playing police" as it makes the job rougher for eveyone else. Texas used to have a law years ago that stated private security could not resemble the LE agency where they worked. Either that law isn't in effect anymore or has been overturned. As far as all blue lights, I have worked properties that used them. We turned them off when we hit the public street. However, I firmly believe that some of this is politically connected...The Galleria mall security has used blue lights forever and do not bother to turn them off when hitting street in that area.
