Subject: Anyone out there know what type of radio equipment and mechanical sirens were used by the FBI in their vehicles in the early 60's? Any ex-G-Men out there? Author: Chris H [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 20:30:34 12/22/02 Sun I have found what the elderly owner later disclosed was an ex-gov't car originally bought at auction in Seattle in 1969. The car is a 1963 Ford Galaxie but not a Galaxie 500; A Ford 300 was the base; the "Galaxie" was a step up, but still a stripped down model compared to the Galaxie 500. Although it has some HD/police mechanical parts it's only a 352/2bbl/auto- no other options. No calibrated speedo either. The dash has some holes where something was mounted underneath to it. It's a clock and radio delete car but a radio was added later. This may just have been a standard gov't fleet/pool car, however, a restored FBI car would be unique. Any info about how the FBI outfitted their cars would be appreciated. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
