The article -> linked here about a well-equipped 1940 Packard 120 contains the following quotes:

"Rear-only turn signal lights were a unique option in 1940."
"Turn signals, in the rear only, were an extra cost option for the first time in 1940, but very few cars were so equipped."

The images below show so-called signacators, manufactured at K-D Lamps Co. in Cincinnati, later marketed as -> "sho-turn" lamps, -> once offered at ebay Canada.

Did Packard actually offer such equipment?
