Lightbar Highlight: Whelen Edge 9000- Chicago PD

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

This is a demonstration of my authentic Chicago Police Department Whelen Edge 9000.. Chicago PD had fairly basic versions of the 9000 (no flashers, etc). However, they did have a fairly unique feature in that they replicated the vehicle's Stop-Turn-Tail lights on the back of the bar. So anytime the brakes were applied, the red lights would illuminate on the back of the bar as well. This is a feature that Chicago still has on their newer bars, and an option that some other departments around the country have since adopted.
Fun Fact: Chicago also attached the vehicle's beat tag to the lightbars as well. The beat tag you see in my video is not a replica- it is an actual beat tag provided by a retired CPD officer.
No lightbar shown in this video are for sale.

    Great collection piece even if it’s very simple. An Edge 9000 from Chicago in this condition must be a nice thing to brag or show about lol. Great demo.

    Thank you, and you are right!! As much as I like ALL of my bars in my collection for one reason or another, I really appreciate the ones that I know the history about. Knowing that this is a legit Chicago bar, AND a legit beat tag makes this one special to me- even if the bar itself is pretty basic. Thanks for watching!

    HI Josh! Yeah, these are the bars my local departments had as I was growing up as well. The county had red/blue, and the city had all blue. Thanks for watching!

    Hi Adam. Do you know of any CPD Whelen Edge light bars that are available or for sale? I’m going to be starting a restoration in about a month and will need a complete light bar set up for this Crown Vic. Thanks in advance!
