Location: Hay Lakes, Alberta, Canada | Hi all,
Just a question of interest... one of my '57 Chrysler's horns has a super long "neck" on it! I've never seen this before. What was the reason, and is it an option on these cars? Pic below...

I has also noticed that in the same era, the Chryslers short lenght horn is the same
lenght as the De Soto's long lenght horn.

My neighbor wanted a "real horn" last month to use on a 1987 vehicle of his, so I went
to looking to aide him. The first horn that I found for him is from a 1966 Plymouth.

Location: Hay Lakes, Alberta, Canada | Looked at the other thread- neat! When I finally try a battery in my car, I'll have to see if it sounds like a "barge" or tug boat. Then people can really say I drive a land yaught!! |

Location: Las Vegas, Nevada | I have these horns on my '57 Saratoga. I have a short video on Facebook where you can hear them.
They sound more like the Nathan dual air horns used on older diesel-electric locomotives than marine horns.
