I just picked up a 53 sunroof. It is not in pretty shape, but there is something that looks very curious indeed....it is this big horn mounted behind the gas tank on the passenger side. It appears to be about 4 inches in diam. at the large end, tapering down to its mounting point, altogether about 12 inches long, and also appears to be period correct ie wiring etc. is installed with other wiring harness . Does any one have any info on the stock horn of this period. I thought that the horn would be typical to later ones that I have seen in 56-57 vintage? Call me out to lunch, ...................but? Thanks. Rick

Wrong horn---Wrong side.

I could not figure out how to post a pic, so I put it in the Gallery, does anyone know what this is? please check it out and let me know. Probably out of a 39 Ford?
