Title: 1959 Six Window Horns
Post by: BillR. CLC # 29203 on July 31, 2020, 02:06:03 PM
It appears the ones taken off the car are from a Corvette.
Looking for factory correct with the traditional Caddy "tunes".
Thanks in advance.

Bill-

I’ve got a couple of horns that were on a ‘59, but I’ll need to check numbers to confirm they are in fact the correct ones and not some generic replacement.  Do you happen to have the part #’s?  If not I can look them up.

I seem to recall that the MPC has a listing stating that when the original part numbers for the '59-'63 were exhausted, that the '64 horns would be substituted.  If David cannot accommodate you, I have a set of three horns available from a 1964 Sedan DeVille, consisting of high note, low note, and short trumpet.

David,
I have tried to respond several times this morning to no avail - the message never shows as posted.
It might have to do with photo. Who knows.
That being said I looked through the Shop Manual and only found operational type information on the horn. No identifiers or numbers.
I did find a picture and I just eMailed it to you.
Plus, assuming you do have a set, can you please bench test them?
Thanks in advance and stay well.
Bill

Bill:

I found the horns; they are Delco Remy, but they do not have GM part numbers; one has the marking "L" and has the designation "363," and the other is "H" and "364,"  but the these numbers don't correspond to the digits in the parts book.  I'd compare with my other cars, but the Eldorado used different horns because it had 3, and the parts book lists different part numbers for '61, so that is not helpful, either.   Bottom line is that I believe these are correct for a '59 but can't confirm that.  They likely came off of either a '59 SDV or a '60 Fleetwood that I scraped for parts after buying my '59 '60S in the mid-80's and have sat on various shelves since then. I'm happy to test them if you want to pursue, but if Charles has the known correct ones, you may want to go that route.  I will email you a picture.
