I had a couple of squeaks that were distracting from the Zen of driving my Six. One in the steering column and one in the brake pedal. Turned out the brake pedal squeak was coming from the plunger type brake light switch. A drop of 3-in-1 oil cleared it right up. The squeak in the column turned out to be in the slip ring for the horn. There's a little metal nub that makes continuous electrical contact for the horn switch by pressing against a metal ring as the wheel turns. A drop of 3-in-1 fixed this too (though as I type this it occurs to me that conductive grease would've been better). You can get to the ring by taking off the lower steering column cover.
Anyway, if by chance you've got similar squeaks you might want to check these spots.
