They sealed the turn signal glad that was just behind the door on the B pillar. They would put a plate with matching color when it came to the US. My brother had a 1959 with the split rear window when he was in to VW’s

I took my road test on my Dad's 1959 beetle. It still had those semaphore turn signals that flipped out. The shifter was so sloppy you never knew what gear you were in until you tried to move. At my road test I put it into third, stalled, failed on the spot. I would later take my road test on a 1970 Pontiac Bonneville. Guess which brand car I stuck with? 
See those floor heat outlets? They ran the heater air through the rockers. There were two outlets under the rear seats too. In 1978 I had a 1965 VW during that terrible winter. The rockers were so rotted, no warm air made it. I still had heat from only one of the rear seat ports. I jammed a swimming pool filter hose into the port, ran it up to the windshield, hung it from the rear view mirror pointed at the glass, and that was the only heat I had to defrost the windshield. If you lifted up on the door, the whole thing came away from the rocker. What a car!!!
