Good friend Steve Babinsky at Automotive Restorations is in the final throes (last few days) of preparing a 1938 Eight by Graber for Pebble Beach. He urgently needs details about the configuration of the horn switch hardware (beneath the button).

If anyone can help with a description or photos, please contact Steve at 908-236-6400, or <steve@autorest.com> as quickly as convenient.

UPDATE: Problem averted - found a friend with a 38 Eight who agreed to take his horn button assembly apart for pictures. But thanks to all who were ready to help!!

Hello. This is a long shot I know but I too am looking for a picture of the entire horn assembly for my 1938 Packard Eight. I have the Banjo style wheel. If this reaches you and if you still have the pics, I would sure greatly appreciate it. My direct email is scottshult63@gmail.com
Thanks a lot! Scott S.

I'm quite sure I still have the pictures. I'll post them here next time I'm in my PC.

Wow, thank you a lot!! I appreciate your help

I have one of those steel “caps” and the copper piece somewhere at my Oregon shop but they’re probably from 1940 110 so not sure if they are the same. They look the same, though. PM me if you want me to have a look the next time I’m there which may not be until February or so.

Great Pictures, thanks more than tons. Hopefully they will allow me to finish this last part of the complete restore. 1938 Packard Eight 1601/1197 4 door convertible.

Thank you again,
Scott S.
