There are 2 different style horns for the 57's It would look like the longer horns like Rich, has came of western cars.
Us flat landers call the long one's mountain horns. Don't know how that started!
Both style horns should be marked Hi-Lo

[RICH MUISE]

Roger...it's in the mail. Postman said Monday or Tuesday delivery.

Gary I'm going to guess there was a real mixed bag with those horns.  My San Diego built Ranchero (early) has the little short curled up horns and my Louiseville built Retractable has the long straight horns.  The St. Louise (or K.C.?) built 300 I parted had the short ones too.....go figure

The 57 horns have a longer bracket and the horn itself is longer.

Yes, that is what I remember.
Looked like this one that Rich M posted.



I had 2 of those that worked & sounded great but after sitting idle for years one quit & I couldn?t make it work.  Now I/m not sure where they are.  Probably stored them in an old van that/s now out through the snow.

.. found lo horn that works well.  Willing to trade for a good hi horn.

As I said I have 2 that work.  Don/t look like Rich M's.  I do think they came off the '[[''58 Edsel front clip that's on my Ranchero.  I will probably have to use them.  The PO never did, never even mounted them.  If I ever find the '57 horns I will let you know if I have a hi that works. 
The 58 Edsel service manual that came with my Rancheo has a pic of a horn that looks like the ones I posted.  Has a short horn.  Pry off the the dome & the tone adjuster is under it.

Ford Blue blood, I see you have a '58 Edsel.  Can you tell me what direction the horn faces  Is the loud end down or towards the center of the car?  I only assume it makes a difference on how well they can be heard.  If you have them pix would be great.

                      Thanks again,  Roger

Tom can't see them but feeling them they are the little wound up style and point down and a little to the center of the car.  One on each side of the center grill at the outboard edge of the radiator.  Yes they are quite loud and make todays horns sound like peddle cars.....

Thanks.  Looks like the ones I posted in reply #10 have the right brackets & will fit right.  You must have the same ones.  Pry the 4 tabs up on the 'dome' & the tone adjustment is underneath.  Not quite the way it says in the manual.
Yeah, they sound like a car horn should.  Not wimpy little beep-beep things.

[Tom S]

... the longer horns like Rich, has ... Both style horns should be marked Hi-Lo.

Found a pair of those.  One works, one don't.  Working one sounds like a low.  Can't find any Hi-Lo markings.
Can you tell us where they are?

[SkylinerRon]

Think the second horn was optional on Customs.
Ever seen the "mountain horns" ? They are about a foot long and super loud.
Regards,
Ron.
