In 1940 they were called town and country horns, in 1939 they were city and country horns. I have the city country horns on my 39 and they work great. There is a switch on the dash to go from one to the other. I tend to leave it on the country side. Love the sound. I also had the problem of turning the steering wheel and having the horns beep. The horn wire was frayed and grounding out against the steering column where it comes out. Horn button would stick once in a while, so I installed a new one. No more problems.
