I was an the junk yard Saturday and saw a Dodge Manaco (the brother of the Eagle Premiere). An odd duck for sure, I had to go have a look. Now, these cars didn’t have the most reliable electrical systems you’ve ever seen, and the car in general were soo problematic they usually broke their owners in short order.
This car though, showed a level/style of ingenuity not seen since I saw how logdog "fixed" his tractor.
It's not even a momentary-contact switch! That's commitment to clearing traffic for sure.

Only if it's hooked up to an air horn.
I love all the visible splices. One of the finest French-American collaborations to be sure.

Yeah, I think if you looked at the wiring harness, there's more splice than original wire 
I was just surprised to see one, even if it was in a junkyard.
Hey, I had a truck with one of those for the horn switch. 'Ole Yeller, a '67 Chevy. But mine was screwed onto the dash. Worked great and got me inspection stickers.
That reminds me of the time I fixed the neighbor kid's go-kart. The kill switch got busted--it was just a cheap toggle switch. Naturally, I had a few wall switches laying around, so I ziptied one in and wired it up. It works, and it looks waaay classy.
