These lights, popular in Mars' Chicagoland area (especially the CFD) in the late 60's-early 70's, were pretty much eclipsed by the Federal TwinSonic lightbars and their competitor's products (Code 3, etc.).
Chelsea, MA FD had one on their Chief's buggy back in the 1970's.
If you see one on Ebay today, they're going for around $1000 in working condition.
