Shawn, they go on the inner drivers side fender well, bolted to the panel with 5/16 body bolts, some cars only had one as well. The area is usually rusted away where the reinforced panel was spot welded.Frank

Are you serious, only 1 horn maybe on a 66?

Again, I am never too old to learn! I had only ever seen them paired up on first and second generation Acadians.

the lower models only had one horn, just the high note. The Canadian and American built cars have diferent brackets on the horns mount differently as well.Frank

Check this link and in the third picture down there is a picture of the horns on my 65.  I'm thinking that 66 will be the same.

Interesting. I don't recall seeing an option for dual horns but anything is possible.

Sure looks like 66 was different from 65 for the horn placement. Great pics James! Again, thanks to CP, I've been educated.

No longer Dan's 65. It is now back in Alberta and proudly driven by my "wife to be" when the weather permits. It is an amazing car with a beautiful interior. Thanks for the compliments Shawn.
