About Quiz #380: 1928 Ford Model A taxi!
Finally we had an extremely simple car in Quiz 'What is it' #380 and now people were afraid to answer. At least it seems that this was the case. Four competitors were spot on with 1928 Ford Model A Tudor. When you check in to see the quiz results you can read that John Elema came up with most details; well done John. Still it's our opinion that this week's prize should go to somebody else as we asked also to be very correct on the accessories. And there was only competitor to identify the extras on the car correctly as from a taxi!
His wording: "It's a 1928 Model A Tudor sedan. You can see the Drum tailight which was only used in 1928. Later cars had a light mounted on the rear fender.It is being used as a taxi; has a luggage rack on the back and a for hire light on the lefthand screen post. Accessories include left hand welled fender for spare tyre and a tool box on the running board." Congratulations John Cochran! Please send us your T-shirt size and mail address. See you all next week.

This photo in fact does not show a taxi, but rather shows a normal 1928 Ford Model A Tudor....most likely in Germany. The "for hire light" that is mentioned in the description is actually not a "for hire light", but is rather what is called a "Fahrtrichtungsanzeiger" (German for driving direction indictor). It is an early form of turn signal consisting of an orange arrow mounted on a black disc inside of a drum, enclosed in glass on either side. When the turn signal switch is turned by the driver, the orange arrow in the Fahrtrichtungsanzeiger rotates to point in the intended direction of travel (left or right). Attached is a photo of an era sales flier for such a turn signal device.
