semiphores
Your semiphores could have been black if they were on a poverty(no chrome, painted bumpers, wheel caps and 3 spoke steering wheel) oval as the cheap
ones were were just that. Deluxes and standard were painted the body colour. volma
They are still there, just have faith you'll find one.

I don't know if this is correct but I did read somewhere that most Australian beetles that were assembled here in CKD (complete knocked down)
form used black semaphores as it saved matching them to the body colour. I know both of mine are black and the car is blue. Anybody verify this?

from memory, the handbook in my 56 oval showed all of the cars with black semaphore covers, plus all of the semaphores i have looked at have a coat of
black under whatever colour/s they were painted when i saw them. maybe some dealers painted the semaphores to match the cars.
