New AA Owner

Post by JWHorton »

On March 13th I purchased my first AA
A 1930 82-B with a stake body complete truck
It is in great shape and has been indoors for the last 38 years
I am the third owner

First Question
Only thing missing is the horn so i have bought one but can't see where or how it was mounted can anyone help? I found the old wires and hole in radiator cover advise!

Second Question
It was repainted in the late 60's all one color (Red) Bumper to spare tire in the rear
Could this be the real color (everything red except wheels, radiator cover, roof and front bumber)
