1952 Air Raid Siren, 

and some poor farmer in the middle of knowhere is still sitting in a bunker waiting for the all clear siren

A V8 siren, that’s the most American thing I’ve ever seen.

this is the most beautiful siren ever made....used to hear this on the last friday of the month in the LA area..it was such a haunting sound, and it carried for miles....

I love the sound that hemi makes when its revved up under load. Music to my ears.

What, no silencer? The neighbours could complain about the engine noise...

Can't believe they run that without mufflers. That engine could damage your hearing.

i've been waiting for full throttle, im dissapointed :(

I love Chrysler Air raid sirens

That’s a beautiful work of art, a hemi powered noisemaker

I’ve seen people full throttle, then pull the transmission down, and it W E N T F O R I T

Release the clutch, shut off the engine, and then re-connect the clutch quickly, would it be possible that the engine re-ignites under the huge inertia of siren rotor?

I love the sound of the v8 over the siren.

Civic owners: hold my white claw...

I remember when I was a kid Saturday mornings hearing the testing of the air alarms . Brings back memories lol

I love how someone walks _straight_ in front of it with their hands over their ears, instead of, just.... walking around?

chrysler hemi v8 powered air raid sirens....miss those things!!

NASCAR: We're the only people to use V8s Chrysler: *Hold my gas*

I'm no expert and I know absolutely fuck all about these things but that is one seriously awesome piece of machinery.

>when the sirens you made years ago are better than the cars you produce today.

full throttle would have knocked down the people and the fence. This thing could set wood on fire from the sound energy at the horn output and be heard up to 25 miles away.

That's sounds would make a person's blood run cold.

Way before my time but still gives me goosebumps

How do you turn the loud gas powered warning siren on?: 1. Open it’s engine door and turn the engine on 2. See that hand crank thing pull it to the other direction until it turns on

That is a Chrysler victory bell siren used for air raids and other threats

Man I’d love to get my hands on one of those!!

Very interesting tone of an air raid siren

One day I will own one and have it in my backyard!!

Ah good to see my alarm clock in action...

It sounds like a monster truck but if it had a siren

GOD THAT CRACKED MY COMPUTER SCREEN!!!

I could just imagine if James Pumphrey from Donut Media talked about this, he’d say something like, “Because what’s more American than a V8? A V8 POWERED AIR RAID SIREN OF COURSE!!” **Lightning strikes**

The Hemi itself sound's so cool, these used to be all over, some idiot pencil pusher made these obsolete so everything could be computer controlled mega phones. Just this old man's opinion.

My alarm in the morning..

That thing looks completely restored. They Should Put it back into use.

Guy in the red shirt: "Huh? I didn't hear it" **dies in the air raid**

Very cool :)))

We need more of these on youtube!

Just thought I'd throw this in there. The gentleman controlling the siren is Don Garlits himself

wow chrysler dodge good for something...

If Cleetus McFarland had one he'd swap a Texas Speed 427 LS onto it... Probably add nitrous or turbos also. I can see the video now: First GM Siren to reach 50 miles

It’s a Hemi !!👍🇺🇸🛠

This siren was made 1 year after the prototype Thunderbolt!

Its Don Garlits, he is a famous drag racer from the 50's and 60's. Look him up and contact him

Chills every time..

It’s meant to run wide open throttle for 3 minutes

Old bastard didn't give it all I was waiting the whole time for full throttle siren

This is another one with the weird shaped horns. The only other one I've seen like this is the one Don Garlits owns, I wonder if this is the same one. I can't tell because we can't see his face, but that looks like it could be Don Garlits running it...

simply beautiful!

Wow such a change from then to now

When he put his hands on the lever I thought it would blow

That's one way to clear the cobwebs out of the house in Springtime!

Are these the big or small block?

Where is the 5.9 Cummins version?

This just proves that american V8s sound amazing, (and yes I do mean when you take the siren sound away.) I'm English and we do have a few V8 engined cars left, but these high torque low bhp V8s make a great exhaust sound when they are reved.

Hey I was reading you info it said 18HP@4000RPM 331 hemi 1952 sould be more like 180HP@ 4000RPM I would think . But very cool :)

2008

Look up the air raid siren Don Garlits cranked up in his museum. Says it can be heard for 20 miles sround

Misprint in the description....horsepower output should be 180, not 18.

You thought that was weak? Man, even standing behind that thing hurts your ears.

Sounds healthy!

I didn't know that Chrysler made sirens as well as cars, the only thing missing would be for them to make boats with a V8 HEMI

the power of siren blows that tree away

Yep, a peice of art.

It's just a Typing Style I use. In any Grammar or Vocabulary, the Capitalization of the beginning letters of the word does not change the definition by any means. MaxxFordham, hopefully I have answered your question and to anyone who have the same question. In fact, I've seen some other Individuals starting my type of Style Typing within the You Tube Community. Nine9eniN

BRENDA BALL

You need a semi fuel tank for that thing. One of those 100 = gallon side saddle tanks. Polish it all u and mount it near the raiator. Leaveing enough space to keep the Hemi cool. DId you do any of the restoration work your self or did you hire it all out? A Chrystler Hemi air raid/tornado siren now thats super cool!

The nerve of this guy running that Hemi with open exhaust and no mufflers....

put on sound canceling stereo headphones and turn your computer to MAX volume for...half the effect!

18hp??? that has to be the horsepower for the starter motor...

i wounder what the chopper looks like

Must be the only chrysler that's reliable

victory siren by chrystler

And that is only 1/4 of as loud and 1/2 as pitched as it can get.

That is WAY older then 1952. Gotta be late 30s

Great video. Too bad he didn't get it up to full speed.

How do you know that?

138 decibels right in their face but their ears are blown out

Love it!

Yes sadly I have 2 more chrysler to mark off the list, The one in rockford:gone. The one ontop of the city hall in kansas city:gone. Good news though! The one on the US army records center is still there! Im working with some people to get it taken down and restored!

Grandpa using " Grandpa of Siren "

The engine exhaust and air intake sound is higher than the siren it self ... m in love with this V8

Would love to hear that after a shot of nos....or perhaps a turbo

Is that a Hemi?

go to Fort Macartur in SoCal and you will here a victory siren and I think a 500AT or FS SD-10

@vegaracechic24 Besides the Don Garlits museum being located in Ocala, E-One's located in Ocala, and they make fire apparatus to this day!

The engine is louder than the siren

Record down to rotor stop. I would stand in front holding ears closed to feel sound waves in chest.

Hey, 150Spoke9, thanks for your response. Oops, ya Missed some Of Them this Time! What's happening To You? I know it doesn't change the definition, and I know this isn't a grammar class, but it still isn't exactly correct (except for titles--at least with the prominent words in a title). Why would you like to have a typing style like that?

I've heard and seen this many times

That hemi sounds nasty when he revs it up.!!!

That would make a bitchin boat motor.

Bet all the bull cows within an earshot got stiffies.

@LNERMallard There is 15 left in exesistance

when the vtec kicks in

wow

siren horn sound like a subaru impreza

That sounds like a ship horn

i love that motor

Imagine those who didn't read the newspaper that morning. Jesus

When you stop the video , but it still going
