    What a great label to have on a control in a car interior:

    "Do Not Misuse"

    Is that from the factory???

    From the factory, '66. That was the first year of the emergency flasher I think. Don't recall one on a 356C. Not exactly sure how we drivers might abuse it. Drive around with it on just for kicks? Pretend to be a fire engine?

    in germany they use the four-ways as a warning to fellow motorists for things like traffic jams and such. Kind of like 'I'm not just tapping my brakes here, I will VERY SOON be coming to a complete stop from 220km/h!'
