OP Johns31 Grease Monkey Joined: Mar 2014 Posts: 22 South Carolina	I am restoring a 1931 Chevy and most have a pancake horn. Mine came with a trumpet horn - see picture linked below. https://plus.google.com/photos/100936491953224596601/albums/6107604493132154577 Was this original? Can you identify it? Should it be chromed or painted? Thanks.

These are photos of the '31 style horn. Ignore the Klaxon 16 stamped in the cover as the center of the '31 Chevy is smooth. How Sweet the roar of a Chevy four!

Wes Rydell owner is a multi gm dealership owner , is the owner. The billet aluminum wheels have that exact same pattern milled into them. I was said this pattern was taken from the horn, http://www.rodshows.com/ mike Last edited by mike_lynch; 01/23/15 11:07 PM.
