Interesting that that license plate has a Lewis & Clark County number.

Welcome to the group!

Comment by Happy Feder on November 28, 2011 at 9:58am: As I recall, that bus had mechanical turn signals up high in the side of the rear quarter panel---a 6 to 10 inch lever would pop out and blink.

Comment by whc03grady on November 28, 2011 at 10:00am: That's what I thought--that it'd have semaphores. But what are those things under the headlights then?

Comment by Big Blue's Driver on November 28, 2011 at 12:37pm: That is an awesome picture. Thanks for sharing it!

Comment by Happy Feder on November 28, 2011 at 12:49pm: I think it's the front turn indicator. I don't see any on top. I posted a full picture--you can try zooming in for a bit more detail. I believe it wa s a 1953 purchased used in Germany.
