There's actually more to the story.My uncle was here visiting my mother about 15 years ago and she brought him over to look at my A's.He was looking at the pickup,and asked what I had done with the one had given to me.I told him,you're looking at it.He had assumed that I had done what most kids did with junk cars,attack it with some wrenches,tear it all apart,learn a little something and get rid of it.A few weeks later my mother got a package in the mail,it was the horn off that car.When he left in 1954 he took it off and stashed it away,because that would be the first thing to be stolen off A's.It's now back hanging under the same headlight bar it left the factory with.It had spent over 50 years sitting on his desk out on the west coast.
