A lot of the sirens were mounted behind the radiator grill on a part of the frame that extended to where the front bumper was mounted to. Most were of a not polished type, as the chrome ones are now day. During the 1930’s and 1940’s there wasn’t a need for the big chrome model sirens since they were mounted in an obscured place. During World War 2, most apparatus made did not have any chrome on them. Every thing was painted, rails, bumpers, radiator cowlings and even lights.

This is true. I failed to mention that, Thanks for the input. They operated on the principal of the engine exhaust going through a valve into a device, aka siren, by pulling a rope, stepping on a floor board button or by pulling a small chain to release the engine exhaust before the muffler, if the truck had one, or inline with the exhaust pipe, thus causing the siren to emit a shrill noise.
I had an exhaust cut on a ‘55 Chevy. It sure sounded good. The neighbors didn’t like it back then. It was like having a straight exhaust pipe. Probably still can be bought.
