The Siren Board

Haha! Yeah that was funny to me too. That Thundebolt is still there today. Its set on Chopper level 7. I cant imagine myself trying to talk to someone near a Thundebolt thats set on level 7.

Jeez, what happened to the paint on that thunderbolt at 7:47? It looks awful!

Yeah I noticed that too. It looks like the Civil Defense took of the paint on the Thunderbolt. I don't know why. Maybe they were repainting the siren?

Yeah, it looks like it has a lot of layers of green plastic on it.


Lol, anyways, before Christopher J. mentioned it on here, I found a picture of what appears to be a tbolt prototype in 1952 Minneapolis, it hit over 40 likes on the facebook group.

Wait, layers of green plastic? What do you mean?

It looks like the paint was just sanded off and they were about to repaint it.
It must have been very recent because it doesn't look likes it even had time to surface rust in the half second it's shown.

Sanding the paint off? Isn't that bad for the metal on the Thunderbolt? Also, by sanding the paint off, doesn't that leave pretty bad scratches on the horn?

I found some cool pics of one of Seattle's Chyslers.
