horn ID help needed
My 68A had this horn shown below when I got the car in 1959. It did not have a cover or bell then. I replaced it with a cheap repro at the time, but put the "original" aside and used only the mount.
Today, I was cleaning up the garage a bit, found my original horn, and thought I should see if I can use it as I get my cabriolet back on the road. The Model A bell piece fits the front and holes match; but the motor covers I have do not fit due to the length of the condenser(?) seen at the top of the third photo. I have not seen any identifying markings on what I have. Volume 1 of the "How to Restore Your Model A" showed sketches of three of the commonly used horns, but not the Stewart Warner or GMI horn. The photos do not seem to match any of the three sketches of the others. My older JS did not help as it only showed the sheet metal. Any help would be appreciated. |

Does not look to be original. Likely a Klaxon. Rod

Re: horn ID help needed
That's a later vibrator horn. Probably doesn't have much value, unless it's for some rare car.

a dome shape cover goes on the back . I see a few of these in Europe that were fitted to Ford trucks before the war . I also think the Late 32 ford used this type . The advantage of using one is it looks like the proper Aoogah horn from the front and makes a lot of noise. I used one on my pickup untill I found the right one. John Cochran |
