How simple cars once were !

You'd think it might have occurred to them to make it so that when the lever
was flipped a large bright yellow flag showed or something, Or even a
warning light on the dash, though that would be too complex for that era vw
bug.

   Maybe a warning beeper. 

But even then some people would just drive wondering what funny sound was !
