Video of Federal C5GB siren

[Bob Waldman]

Been awhile since I've visited, but thought I'd post a link to a video I made of a 1954 Chevy firetruck outfitted by the Howard Cooper Corp in Portland, Oregon.
Of interest might be the working Federal siren, which I turn on near the end of the video. Cheers!

Hi Bob! Glad to see you back! Are you the same Bob who I waited with for a tow sitting in your 75 CB Olds on 217? Would be good to get together once this covid stuff is done and catch up =)

Hi NJ, YES! I had that Olds back in 2013. Refresh my memory of why I was on the side of the road waiting for a tow? ?

My wife and I were with you test driving and hoping to buy, but the transmission went out unexpectedly. Sorry it didn't work out, it was a beautiful hearse! Thanks for posting the above video, very cool!
