perhaps it was an Avon truck.

Thanks Shel that's OK. However if you pass by that stude you pictured the dashboard of, I have a home for that V8 emblem. And if you were to run across a 46 through 48 studebaker commander or land cruiser car that has these on the tops of the fenders, I would welcome a pair. Or a resonable facsimile.

Hey Greg, It must have worked I see the tree came in:)

[BobT-47P15]

I reckon that doorbell button would work like any horn button...just a

momentary contact type of thing. On my car, I use a P15 starter

button to operate the ah-oogah horn, an aftermarket horn button

to work the siren, and a regular Radio Shack push button to operate

another old "beep" horn. Not sure I have actually seen the door bell

button on an old vehicle before, however.

I enjoy your salvage yard photos.....you have a good eye for nifty stuff.

Now I look for such things - but don't usually find such dandy subjects.

[BobT-47P15]

Norm......hooking up that wolf whistle seems to be a bit of a pain in the

rear. It talks about drilling a hole in the manifold and such stuff. Not

sure I want to do that.

Wonder how Normspeed hooked his up. Anyone else have one of these?

[Young Ed]

Bob you should already have a hole for the wipers. Couldn't you tap off of that?

[Don Coatney]

Bob;

If you dont want the wolf whistle I will take it.

[Reg Evans]

Greg, that switch would also likely fit your Stude. I could pick it up Thursday when I go pickin:D

Shel,

I could use that truck horn button and related parts if not broken and the gear shift knob if you are pickin.

[Reg Evans]

On the list, but not sure how good they are.

Good that you asked fast. It has only been a couple of days. I will be able to find the truck again:D

Thanks Shel !

[BobT-47P15]

I have a tube coming off the base of the carbureator to which is attached

a hose that contains the "muffler" for the convertible top system. The line

for the wipers comes off that hose under the dash. Maybe I could tap

into that system.....just need to figger out how to make it work.

Then, you have to mount the whistle in such a way as to run a cable or

cord thru the firewall to pull the lever on the back end of the whistle.

Guess I better not give it to Don, since son-in-law gave it to me for

Christmas.

[BobT-47P15]

I need to figure out a way to mount the last "beep" horn I got....is now

just lying behind the grille. Did get the siren fastened in position. Kind of

resembles a spaghetti factory in that area.

Don't know what kind of car this horn is off of......got it on ebay for about

$10....in good condition. People get a grin on their face when they hear

the siren or the ah-oogah horn.

[BobT-47P15]

I think it was made by Klaxon, but is just a "beep, beep" kind of sound.

I consider it my "roadrunner horn".

[Don Coatney]

Bob;

I do have a beep-beep road runner horn. It is 12 volts. Wanna trade for the wolf whistle?

[Reg Evans]

Gosh Bob.....Make sure you save room somewhere for one of these too.

You need a bunch of door bell buttons lined up like a key board.

Hey....ya might be able to "stand in" and play your car in the band.

[BobT-47P15]

Reg.....what's that horn from?

[Reg Evans]

I think they were just a generic accessory you could buy for any 6 volt car years ago. Made by Jubilee I think. The power is hooked up full time and when you pull on a cable that ran to your dash the horn would sound. The sound will vary depending on how far you pull the cable back. It sorta sounds like a mooing cow or fog horn. I sold it a couple of weeks ago though on the Bay.

[Don Coatney]

Don' date='

Since you are running 12 volts, you can go either way with the Wolf Whistle. Speedway has a 12 volt electronic Wolf Whistle for about $30. Or........they also have the vacuum model like Bob's for around $50.[/quote']

The electronic wolf whistles are junk much like fuzzy dice in a 97 Oldsmobile or any other car for that matter.
