Europeans: You can’t just fit massive V8s everywhere Americans: Hahaha V8 airraid siren go wuuuuuuuuuuuu

The answer to everything in the 1950’s was “just put a v8 in there”

1952 V8 Hemi fires right up. 2010 V8 Hemi “Sir you need a new engine”.

"hey, lets go cold start the siren"

I can hear the tinnitus in this video

This siren sounded like an engine, then a dog, then a cow, then a moose.

Murica: "Our siren has a V8" Me in europe: "I drive to work in a 3-cylinder."

Back when Chrysler was so highly revered that they were trusted with savings American lives. Chrysler in its golden hour.

Ah, yes. I see we have found the practical application of the opposite of a muffler: the loudener.

This siren was so loud, they had another siren to warn you when this siren was going to sound.

“Sir, the test results are in... you have dangerous levels of carbon monoxide in your blood and both your eardrums are ruptured... what have you been DOING?!”

Bloody brilliant! You can hear it 25 miles away so let us start it up in an enclosed area with no ear protection!

This puppy could be heard for 25 miles when it's on a rooftop. Let's start it in the basement!

I remember as a kid living in Vancouver B.C. in the 50’s hearing air raid sirens. They have a very haunting sound and it always scared me. It’s a sound that I will never forget. I’m 70 now and the memory is still as fresh as when it was back then.

"Everyone have their ear protection on? No? Just me? Ok... Here we go!"

Rip the camera man he couldn’t cover his ears cause he’s holding the camera.

That is not A siren, that is THE siren. Never been a more powerful one ever built. 25 mile range and able to condense fog into falling rain clearing the air. Fitting that the trumpet to herald in the death of half of mankind and the end of civilization itself was Hemi powered!

1:17 "This particular one runs on propane gas..." Hank Hill approves 👍

Who knew Robbie Coltrane was a bit of a gear head? Makes me like him even more, and I’ve been a fan since The Young Ones/European Vacation. Blackadder, Nuns On The Run, 2 Bond movies, Harry Potter films (which I haven’t seen), Ocean’s 12 and now this!
