Your 68 Fury has the same 3 switch dash set up,but also has a Federal siren/Pa control panel.Is it normal for a a Cpd car to have no P.A system ????
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Fury had the same switches because like this car, the siren was activated off the horn button. The PA/electronic sirens weren't standard on new CPD cars until 1975. Prior to that, they got whichever siren was handy when the vehicle was being prepped. That was most often a Federal Pulsator.
Is Johnny Lightning or Code 3 coming out with a diecast of the the Polara?

Not that I'm aware of. What have you heard?

What do the two metal switches do next to the plunger white switch operate ??? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The other switches are for the flashing hi-beams and the siren/horn selector. The plunger is for the lightbar.

Greg,
Another great restoration. Let me know the first show/event you'll have for display. Two questions.
1.Did the driver's side rear wheel cover come off on the drive home? or is it to give the authentic look?
2. I seem to recall on the Mars light bar setup you have, the Beat Tag was mounted verticaly, or at his transition time were they still "stuck" on the front or back windshield?

Joe-
The hubcap was lost on the ride home. Now it does look "in-service", doesn't it? I've got a replacement coming.
On the blue CPD cars, the beat tags were in the front and rear windows. The tags weren't on the lightbars until the white cars hit the streets in 1975.
Look for the Polara on April 30th at the Larry Roesch Chrysler show in Elmhurst.
