They are a repro product made by a fellow Model A' er and he sold them years ago et Hershey. I was told he is not making them anymore. They are a replica of the ones shown on page 110 of the book "Those Wonderful Unauthorized Accessories". They are originally installed on the front and rear license plate.

Cash on the dash to anyone that will sell this kit. Just the switch would be nice.

I wonder if the tooling is still around to start making them again?

Were these Flashing turn signals or were when switched activated - did the signal stay light until switched off?

You might want to let that newspaper know that the California Bell Company is still going strong.

" I got he was looking at installation instructions "

I am looking for pictures how it should be installed, from people who bought the same unit at Hershey

This unit has a flasher and will run like modern.

I guess the original one had a fixed light.
