Re: Chrysler Sirens
Salt Lake City had some Chryslers, but I never looked much into it. I just googled "Sirens in Salt Lake" when I was down there on a school trip and got some old newspaper articles about them.

Re: Chrysler Sirens
Stroud never had a Chrysler mounted on that tower on the west end of town. It was built as a Civil Defense "observation deck" in the early 1950s, and in 1958 they installed a siren on it. Apparently sometime in the 80's, the old siren must have quit working so they replaced it with the ACA Penetrator that is still up there today.

Re: Chrysler Sirens
I know several communities in the state of Michigan used Chrysler sirens for many years. Grand Rapids had a few Chrysler sirens positioned around the city. Jackson had one on their Tower Building in the downtown area. It was replaced around 1980 with a Thunderbolt. I believe one of the communities in the Downriver area in Detroit, had a Chrysler siren well into the 1970s.Remingtoncountry wrote:Detroit, MI had several. I think 12? not sure though that number just comes to mind. Lansing and Grand Rapids may have had one to. I think Kalamazoo had one or two.

Re: Chrysler Sirens
As for Jackson's Chrysler it was on the Court Building and was replaced by a T-bolt around 1982 or so. Here is a link with a picture of the siren in a story ran here a few years ago by the Jackson Cit-Pat.
