Title: Horns.
Post by: Rattiac on November 27, 2025, 09:38:39 AM

Recently we had a 37 Pontiac in our shop with the lowest,  Loudest electric horns I've ever heard.  Just like a semi truck air horns.
He said they were "town and country"  horns.
After trying to tune the 32's horn so it doesn't sound like a Honda.
It sounds a bit lower but not much adjustment I could do.
After talking with Sid about those. I ordered the cheapest pair I could find.  Can't wait to get em.
What other horns do you guy's like that sounds like a "man's horn" ?

Nah, in 37 they had a horn option for people who lived out in the country with a louder horn as well as the city horn known as the "Town & Country horn".  If you tune em right and 12vlts make for a really loud low trumpet sound.  Similar to air horns.
FatnLow.  I bet that's fun.  😊

In the '60s I had a '40 Checy pickup that had air horns mounted on top with a big tank under a running boarb. Ugly as hell but fun except filling the tank. I took them off after the fun wore off.
