There was an option for turn signals on '42-48 Mercury. I have found the part number for the switch and the wiring assys. I want one for my '48 Merc cpe., but as yet, have had no luck. Ford offered one which clamped to the outside of the column, not unlike the aftermarket versions, but Mercury had an actual inside-the-column version like modern cars. My '41 Lincoln Continental had them stock, but I don't know if the switch was the same one used in Mercurys or not. I talked to a guy in Denver who has a '47 Merc wagon that has them, and he says it's the only one he's ever seen. He's an old time Ford-Merc guy, so they must have been rare.
