I was replying to "woody".

eBay item number 4621228167 is not for 1932 as stated in the item description.

Those Klaxon horns must be something special selling for $201.50 and one is not working.

The horns are both aftermarket replacements for ??????. Plymouth, Harley Davidson, Caterpillar and others used the same horns but differ in the bracket, cover, terminal locations from the 1931 Chevrolet horn.

The Klaxon Model 8-C horn is a motor driven type and it is located on a bracket between the left frame rails right opposite of the generator.

Except for the 1926 and 1927 where it was mounted on top of the engine and bolted to one of the exhaust manifold bolts.
