Yeah, and some came with turning indicators that popped up out of the side.

Gas tank fill spout behind license plate.

And behind rear brake light. I pumped gas back in the 70's and that behind the light location stumped me first time I tried to find it. The owner finally showed me after I almost tore his license plate off.

Fill spout on my '66 Bug was in the trunk, which was in the front where the hood(bonnet) on most cars is.

One more for the kids, push button transmission shifter.

both are cool. CB radio can be really useful. especially in an emergency situation, if you got people around with CB's, then you can communicate and make use of supplies and routing better...if there was ever like an attack or something. useful in war time, that's for sure.
