a quick google search produced plenty of volkswagens and these. what else was manufactured way back in the day with semaphore turn signals?
1935 Chevy Containter truck blown up in the movie "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" (real?)
1948 Chevy Truck (doesn't look factory to me?)
1927 Willys Overland Whippet Coach

So did 50's Morris Minors, In fact, a whole bunch of British 40's and 50's cars had them.

sorry no pictures. first car I owned while stationed in Japan in the early sixty's. ('60 -'63) was a 1955 toyopet (early Toyota) had semiphores.
Not only did they blink but made a "clack clack" sort of sound to let
you know they were working, I guess.  |

I took better photos than notes on my trip to Wolfsburg. All I remember is it was called a Kleinbus. I do not recall the year though. |
