Sooooo, what about this idea:

Mini Strobe Beacon Safety Flasher Warning Light / Magnetic Base Mount
https://www.ebay.com/itm/154223944800?var=454334244660

This is a hand-held red strobe light. It would likely be seen and recognized by those who are not used to seeing anyone using hand signals. It blinks, and is red, similar to modern turn signals.

It has a magnetic base that might be handy for keeping it somewhere in the driver's area, when not being used.

Well, yes......you still have to roll down your window!.....but your model A retains the old-timey look that I'm hoping to preserve.

What do you think of this?
Here is the CA Law, watch out for Barney Fife

I understand your intent but is it safe?? steering, downshifting looking for the strobe in the cab, people stopping in front of you because of a red strobe etc.
Turn signals can be hidden in the headlight bucket, cowl lights, tail lights or??
Yes, they used hand signals years ago but I'm guessing few people recognize their meaning in today's world. Cars travel at a higher rate of speed and drivers are eating, reading and talking on their cell phones. Be careful out there wouldn't want anyone or your car to get injured. As a retired first responder I present this with all due respect.
Yes, I have LED turn signals front and back, I try to get my car on the road as much and as safely as possible.
