That photo may help me to fill in the blanks on our new Oval's early history. Ours has turn signal holes that almost exactly match the location and size on this car.
My question: Exactly when was the mandatory turn signal law implemented in Germany? Our car was sold new in Weisbaden but I don't know when it made its way to the U.S. I'm collecting info for my further investigations.......

Maybe this car is South African? RHD Or maybe closer in one of the British Empire's Islands, Jamaica? Somewhere in the Caribbean?
