Jailbar Bumblebolt in Denver? You decide!

And they sure went all out on the guy wires.

Yeah, it's one of the coolest mounts I've seen yet.

It seems like they mounted it 10-20 feet higher than the roof of the building...

20 feet seems about right. Hell, it's almost a pole mount on the roof!

It's a thing of beauty. Thanks so much for sharing this rarity!

Were all the jailbar Thunderbolts originally 1000's? If so, when did Federal start making the 1000T?

Another grill, in the middle of the horn? Interesting. Great find!

My immediate thought is; maybe with the taller mount, they made the horn of thinner gauge metal, and reinforced it with the grille bars?

So, basically everything is Flat Black paint except for the chopper cap. It actually makes it look more CD Thunderbolt.

Please don't bump old topics if you don't have any useful information to add.

BTW it's gloss black that's faded.

OH, WHOOPS. My painting instincts told me it looked like Flat Black. Plus, I never thought of what Gloss Black would look like faded.

NOTE:
I'm so sorry for my stupid mistake. I guess I didn't have enough painting experience to figure that one out.
