Thread: Know what this is??

I still stick my arm out the window sometimes because my daddy told me to when he was teaching me to drive.

That was in the mid 1940's and not too many Model A Fords had turn indicators at that time.

Somewhere along the way I for some reason developed the habit of holding my left hand in kind of a Boy Scout salute position when I signal a turn. My outspoken daughter-in-law told me I'd better stop doing that because today nobody knows what hand signals are and they might think I was shooting them the finger.

Well, okay. I'll try not to do it anymore.

Hell, my 1988 Eagle IHC has one of those hanging from the steering column. 'Course, it IS a Cornbinder!

Wow!!

I'm not the only old fart here!

I'll try to make the next one tougher

I still use hand signals, no top
I did not know that the fronts are supposed to be amber, must have slept threw that government interference.

I can remember my dad and uncle opening the door for a turn. No signal equipment. late 40's. Never did figure out which way the turn was indicated...I guess you were just saying 'I'm turning..get otta the way' haha
