Horn cars was a name given to a range of dealer-modified passenger cars, usually Ford Falcons, sold at Australian Ford dealerships in the 1970s. The term "Horn car" comes from the Horn Car Accessories company which supplied the parts used to modify these cars. Horn cars were an initiative taken by Max McLeod, who owned a Ford dealership in Rockdale, New South Wales, a suburb of Sydney. McLeod would add a range of visual modifications to his Falcons - typically spoilers, sunroofs and wild tape striping along the side of the vehicle - in order to make them stand out from the crowd and give his customers the chance to buy a "unique" vehicle. The concept proved popular and was soon employed by other Ford dealers around Australia. From Wikipedia under the

Q. I have seen pics of the old cars where the horn is on the side of the car, so was wondering which manufacturer was the first to design the car with the horn underneath the hood rather than on the outside of the car on the driver's side.

Answered by April Mayhem - Tue Feb 20 18:33:09 2007 How many presses of about 1 second can a car horn make if connected to a 12V, 7.5Ah alkaline lantern battery? Q. I want to add a car horn to a bicycle and power it with a 12V, 7.5Ah alkaline lantern battery. Asked by Brian - Mon Jun 8 01:48:35 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. The actual answer will probably have to be determined experimentally, since we don't know how the battery's current delivery will diminish as it discharges, or what the internal resistance of the battery is, but assuming that the car horn draws about 5 amperes of current at 12V, the 7.5 Amp-hour rating means that it could ideally run the horn for about an hour and a half. That's about 5,400 one-second presses. The big question is whether the battery is designed to handle a 5-amp load. That 7.5 A-h rating may be assuming a much smaller current draw.
