You would be correct. Those Chryslers were the first sirens installed for Chicago CD. I do not know of any exact locations, but I know they did exist.

I was able to locate it at Independence and Hardesty as you noted in that previous thread. Good thing Chryslers are so big and were frequently painted that vibrant red/yellow
