I would like to add a horn to my 27T roadster, not sure I want an ooga type. What other types of horns were added to these types of 50's hotrods back in the day? Any recommendations? Here's a pic of the hotrod-
Nice looking hot rod --- for any "day" There was always the "wolf whistle" but why stick something so dumb on such a nice rod-- just because something was done " back in the day" does not mean it was smart then either.
You could put a regular car horn underneath the car where it is hidden from sight to make it legal, if you change your mind later just change it to the new one. Or put a motorcycle horn under there and wire both up with a switch to go from one to the other!
I had an ooga horn on my 37 Willys in the 70s and if i used it to worn someone they just smiled, just a joke sound !! The horn is on the shelf now. I have an early style 26 rpu thats going to have a 50s car horn,they sound cool. JW
Thanks for the feedback. Not looking to sound like a train, or a clown car...somewhere in between I guess. I'll get few pics to add in the next few days.
I put a forklift horn on my 33. I bought it at Grainger, it looks like an old motorcycle horn or the kind that So-Cal Speed shop sells. It is loud and sounds good(Beep).

Use a pair from the '50s or '60s. Under the floor is fine...Olds, Cad, Buick, mid-'50s Ford. All have a nice, commanding tone. My brother bought a "Diesel-sounding" horn from J.C. Whitney, for his '29 Roadster Pickup. (he lives in Santa Clara, Fremont St.) His "Diesel Sounding" horn sounds more like the gattling horn used on fire trucks. LOL
