The first VW Bugs had 10 inch pieces of metal built into the body at window level just behind the doors that actually dropped down, perpendicular to the body to indicate a left or a right-hand turn. They apparently weren't very helpful in signalling traffic that you were going to turn because they became known at "machs nix stix" to the Germans.
