Re: IML: 1962 Imperial Horns again!

[randalpark@xxxxxxx]

Sparton did supply parts for the Imperial , so it sounds plausable that 
some cars came with Autolite and others came with Sparton. I have 
probably seen cars with both, but not known the difference since they 
probably look similar, and are mounted in the same position. The horns 
in my '62 were gone when I bought it years ago, so they aren't factory.

Subject: IML: 1962 Imperial Horns again!

Okay I’ve read here that members have ‘62s with the 3 horn set-up.  So 
I looked on my ’62 LeBaron and only 2 horns are on there with no signs 
of there ever having been a 3rd or trumpet horn.  No bracket for it, no 
extra wire for it.  So I go to my ’62 Parts Catalog which most would 
agree is pretty much the bible to go by for anything on your Imperial.  
They only list a left and a right horn set up with no mention of a 
third horn. Also there is no mention of a 3rd horn (or any horn for 
that matter) in any of the sales literature I have and I think I have 
it all expect the Dealer order book.   However the Parts catalog almost 
reads like there were two different horns for the Imperial like maybe 
one set for Crown and one for LeBaron?  Just guessing.  So if you 
experts can tell me from what is printed in this parts catalog what is 
going on with horn selection on the Imperials for 1962 it would be most 
appreciated.  Here is what is in the catalog:

 

Page 8-35 section 8-32-0 HORN:

 

Right Auto-Lite, SD3, SC1, SC2     No. 2291 424

Left Auto-Lite , SD3, SC1,SC2       No. 2291 423

 

Right w/Mounting BRACKET, Sparton, SC3,SY1   No. 2291 420

Left w/Mounting BRACKET, Sparton, SC3, SY1    No. 2291 419

 

Is Auto-Lite and Sparton  brand names for horns?  Why would they list 
both for Imperial?

 

I guess what I am getting at is if your Imperial has a 3rd trumpet horn 
set up was it a dealer add-on and not a factory option?
