Chevy Corvette Horns

Horns are some of the oldest car safety devices, dating back to the mid-1800s. Back in the days, it was a legal requirement for self-propelled vehicles to be preceded by a man walking in front of them and waving a red flag and blowing a horn. Manufacturers soon realized that enabling drivers to operate warning devices themselves from the cabins of their automobiles to alert all road users to possible dangers would be a far more effective alternative. So, at the beginning of the 20th century, a number of in-car signaling devices including bells, sirens, whistles, and horns were designed. Constructed with a flexible electrical contract that is attached to the metal diaphragm, the car horn also has a switch, a coil of wire to form an electromagnet and a housing that functions like a megaphone. Horns come in a variety of frequencies, each depending on such factors as flexibility, size, and mass of the diaphragm, the power of the electromagnet as well as the physical characteristics of the horn’s case.

The Chevy Corvette offers quite a lot of systems, mechanisms and parts that serve to ensure safe driving. They range from daytime running lights and a 3rd center brake light added in 1986 to comply with safety regulations to state-of-the-art curb view monitors that compensate for limited visibility due to the height and size of the windows. And just like all of them, your car horn must be in excellent working order as it can get you out of a huge trouble.
