I have had several (more actually, but too embarrassed to count them)
Renault Dauphines in my life. They had a switch on the dash so you
could choose between "city horn" and "country horn." Not a bad feature.

  "I long ago lost a hound, a bay horse, and a turtle dove, and am
still on their trail. Many are the travelers I have spoken to
concerning them, describing their tracks and what calls they answered
to. I have met one or two who had heard the hound, and the tramp of
the horse, and even seen the dove disappear behind a cloud, and they
seemed as anxious to recover them as if they had lost them
themselves." - henry thoreau
