That's where the horns were on alot of the 83-84 Fords.....Kind of silly really.

My '80 has the same thing, you get used to it after a while. It allows you to keep both hands on the wheel while you weave through traffic honking at all the 'idiots' on the road. A safety feature really, I believe my friends '79 stang had it this way aswell.
