Hoping somebody can shed some light here. I am getting confusing feedback on the car and model. The VIN starts 312xxxx which is correct for 1960. The thing is, the car has semaphores. From research, it see 1958 model, "Front blinkers moved to top of mud guards" yet, for 1960 model, it states "Last year for semaphores in Europe, Canada, Australia.". Does this in fact mean that from 58 to 60, the cars had both front fender indicators as well as semaphores? Mine has no fender blinkers. Would appreciate some guidance.

The US and Canadian cars done away with the semaphores
earlier than Europe and other exporting countries.
