    Can anyone identify this horn on my 30 Essex? I don't think it is the original horn that came on the car. Just curious.

    The horns on my '36T are EA Premier Twins from E.A. Laboratories, Brooklyn, NY., USA and they are the same horns that are used by Hudson and Terraplane from '34 - '36, so yours are probably the original deal! Nice horn.

    According to Hudson Reference Sheet No. 35—(February, 1930), Mechanical Specifications for Essex Super Six—1930 Model, the horn was made by E A. So the horn you have is probably the correct one.



    The entire reference sheet is posted on my Hudson on-line library web site @ hetclub.org/ burr - scroll down to the first 1930_reference_sheet (holding your mouse pointer over the link will show the entire link at the bottom of your screen.
