I am looking for info on Police Light Bars. Can anyone help me determine what the light bar in the photo is? Then the next question would be, "Where can I get one in resin or plastic?"

Click on the picture to get a bigger view.
Thanks!
I still have hopes that the project will turn out good, I just need to remind myself the goal is to always enjoy the process, improve when and where I can, but understand that if I only accept perfection, I will be detracting from the reason I build to be

It looks very similar to a Code 3 MX7000 light bar.

Yeah, I checked Chimneyville, but they are out of stock, as well as a couple of other sites. But I am still looking! Thanks!

That light bar looks close to the one in the Lindberg 96 Crown Vic.
Here is a link to the kit I'm talking about, which happens to be for sale.

Thanks for the replies. I had someone on another list who is very knowledgeable tell me its a Federal Signal Vista lightbar. It seems that this particular car in the picture is more unusual in that Mass used Whelen and Code 3 MX 7000 bars, but it seems in this case it is with the lowest bidder.
As for the source, I found several on-line suppliers, but all were out of stock. I ended up going to an eBay seller, and ordered. Hopefully, it will work out.
