Hello,

I'm in the process of collecting the missing parts that I need for our 1959 Cadillac restoration. One of the things we need is the horn ring. Does anyone have one that they'd be looking to sell, be it a reproduction or an original? We've looked around but a couple of the places we contacted no longer sell them and another that does has dramatically increased their price from what I found in the past. Any and all suggestions are welcome. It looks like if I'd started this a few years ago it would have been easier to track one down and at a much better price.

Thank you.

I wonder why it's always a '59 that has a broken horn ring? Look at all of the many years the used a ring of similar construction. They aren't broken...

Anyone have an answer?

Here again, a 4 year old post, although "dinhnguyen57" is a regular here and may see your post.  Although for something as rare and sought after as an unbroken '59 horn ring, I would think it was sold sometime ago.

Dear all,
There are reproduction horn rings for '59 models in the market.
Sometimes oen is offered by someone via Ebay or so.
But still I have not found a trusted source, other CaddyDaddy for $ 2.000,-+ which is ridiculous.
Does anybody know a reliable source, or even better, the original source where these reproduction hor rings are being made?
Someone in this club should know, one would think?
Help!!
