Did the 1942 ford GPW(willys jeep) have turn signals?
 
I bought a 42 GPW on ebay from the US and I have to get it inspected to put plates on it. Did the 42 GPW come with turn signals?

Hi

Sorry Lynn, I couldn't resist the temptation of course all vehicles of the period had "turn signals" those hand signals given by the driver. Of course most drivers today would not have a clue what an arm extended straight out or raised straight up or down from the elbow mean. These have been replaced by more colorful and ambiguous signals with the hand and arm.



Hope you can read the text at this example of hand signals if not
"That's nothing like the Turning Left signal you taught me"

Cheers Phil
