I know localities in the DC Area (Fairfax, Arlington, District of Columbia, Alexandria City, Prince Georges, Montgomery) had several Chrysler sirens in each county. All were later phased out by Thunderbolts in the early-1970s.
Holler!

Hello, fellow siren enthusiasts. I am losing interest, but will be back on the board from time to time.
