Answer 6

This turn signal was a one-off invention of Oscar J. Simler, who invented and patented a similar turn signal in 1929.

Turn signals were not offered to consumers purchasing cars until 1939, and they were more widespread in the late 1940s, when large numbers of car manufacturers offered them to consumers.
