I was just watching some Wisconsin v4 engine videos, and this topic poped up in my head. Before I had my account on the board, I seen this topic and went "Oh wow, that's something else."
I also want to know the current state of the project.

Was this thing remotely started, or did some poor soul have to climb up on the roof/post and start it?

How could you remotely control something like that back in the ole days? Like to run the throttle, starting motor, choke etc.?

They did it with Chryslers, I'm pretty sure the could do it with MDs.

Well then do you think you could tell us how it worked then instead of telling us about Chryslers?

I was using Chryslers as an example. I said they could do it, not that they did. Plus, Chryslers were gas powered too, just like some MDs. I'm not entirely sure though, I read it on the victory siren website.
