    It depends on how angry the driver is.

    The 50 Dodge horn is a 6 volt horn. Your car has a 12 volt system. IT WILL BE EXTRA LOUD but may not last long.

    It's best if you get somthing like a ooga horn from like speedway or Harbor freight, your other option is any horn from any 70's or 80's, or any car b4 1990 or so, just has to be 12 volt which, from like '65 on up was, 6 volt really got inferior in '55 and most cars after that were but there were still a few 6 volters but like a 60's Bel air or 70's Impala should have a horn that would sound close ur '57's original but most any American 12 volt horn will work.

    Does anyone know where you can buy a 1950 style sounding horn online? Any aftermarket companies make them? Thanks.

    I hear that all horns in the good old USA were tuned to a specific note. I think off hand it was one of the happy notes C, G or D.
    Anyone know for sure?
