Title: 1956 Eldorado Seville Trumpet Horn
Post by: Zwildman1 on October 04, 2020, 06:21:55 PM
I am looking for the correct third horn as pictured for my 56 Eldorado Seville.  The shop that was restoring my car went out of business and lost my original horn.  Any ideas on a replacement?

I do feel your pain on this.  The first resto shop I
used went bankrupt.  I was lucky that the owner
let me go through the shop and most all of my rare
parts were found.

As to the horn, you will need to find a used one that
hopefully works.  Try the "want to buy" section on this
forum.  They were the same for '55, '56.  My original
horn was fried (bad coil) and could not be repaired but
I was able to find a good working original.

Good luck,

Mike

Thanks for the insight.  I appreciate learning that they are the same for 55.

Are there any number on them? I have this one and don’t know it’s origins.

There are no numbers that I know of.  If you could
measure the length of the "trumpet horn" from it's
base (where it screws into the round piece holding
the coil) to the rim of the horn I'll compare it to mine.

Maybe we can help Zwildman1 out.
