Thanks Greg, on your skybolt does the white d/s can- light flash or is it like a takedown light?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It flashed. It was a temporary replacement when one of the blue lamps burned out. When we still had Mars lights in service years ago, it was not uncommon to see a clear or even a red brake light bulb used to replace one that burned out. The repair guys used whatever they had on hand in the repair truck.

Can you throw a picture in of what the control panel looked liked.Was it a MARS brand siren/light combo or a single dash switch. thanks again............
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The "control panel" was piece of radio delete plate made of black plastic with a white plunger (headlight) switch for the blue lights and toggle switches for hi-beams, horn/siren and trunk shotgun lock. The siren/PA box was a Mars Clarion or Federal Interceptor, whatever they had laying around when the car was prepped.

How did the CPD dispose of all of their Mars equipment? Is there a warehouse or parts yard where all this stuff is sitting? I'd love to get my hands on a Mars lightbar & siren.

They cut them up and threw them in the trash with exception of a few they kept to maintain some of the bars on the Squadrols
