That's the horn wire. It should lead to the horn relay.

Thanks for the invite, I'm interested in learning more about my car... It is missing the vin Plate/sticker, and the motor has been modernized. Only thing left is the Anti Theft # 486812. I did see where this # may indicate the year of the body.. assuming the "8" may mean 1938 ?

Dancesr, what model and year is your car?
Maybe Owen_Dyneto can check his records.

'38's were the last year with a floor shift, so a conundrum there. '38's also came with an ID decal in lieu of an ID plate and most of the decals have not survived the years.

Theft-proof number 486812 would be a 1939 body. 1939 numbers ran from 468392 to 517170.

 Dancesr for including your Packard in the Registry.Note O_D's comment concerning the Theft Proof Number which idicates your Packard is a 1939 and not a 1938. Your Registry entry is easily correctible if this is the case. A very nice looking Packard with no outward signs of the 350/TH transplant.
