With all this horn talk about I remember two things:
1) The sound of my old '74 504's horn, rather harmonious with the two horn
set-up, not to mention the signal/horn lever on the "right" side of the
steering column. Funny because I drove a 504 today (79 D) and it just
wasn't the same.
2) French class. Something about "dans le ville, ne klaxon (sp) pas" kind
of goes with the city/country horn idea. Go figure.
Now if we could get the car alarms banned! That would be the day...
