| If we're being fair, the Cresta looks a lot like an American car, especially the '57 Nash. It's no more or less accurate than most generic vehicles. -- Last edit: 2020-08-07 02:33:38 | |
| SolanaBogon2 wrote Well even in Mafia 1 you had turn signals and if I remember right they were amber too... Never played Mafia 1. But if that's the case they were mistaken as well. | |

| generalrusty78 wrote Okay I can explain why that is the case in LA Noire, it's because they just ported GTA 4's physics and the turning signals came with it Makes sense. Just wished they hadn't done it lol. At least just add a signal flasher to the brake lights that already existed instead of adding Amber lights. | |
| Youresowronglmao wrote Good grief here we go again. Turn signals started showing up on some mainstream cars in the mid 1940s. Most cars in that game were pre WWII. Not only that but they were amber in the game (and added randomly on the body). Name 4 US WWII era cars that have Amber signals. Also explain how the game was set in 1947 but we had cars from 1949 on the streets. They fubard'd it big time. Turn signals started to show up on high end cars back in the late 1930s but they were few and far between.

| generalrusty78 wrote I know people were dumb in the past, but I'm pretty sure we had turning signals back then Turn signals weren't compulsory on U.S. Roads until the 50s. | |

Not to say that much of the site isn't informative. You just can't take all of it as 100 percent accurate. I'm working on a 1940 Chrysler Sedan right now at my shop and guess what? No turn signals. -- Last edit: 2020-07-31 18:42:31 | |
| en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_lighting#Turn_signals "Electric turn-signal lights date from as early as 1907. The modern flashing turn signal was patented in 1938 and later most major automobile manufacturers offered this feature." | |
| YoureSoWrongLmao wrote I agree. But the game was made by a bunch of Germans clueless about 1950's America. Like the Australians with La Noire. 1940's cars with turn signals? Still makes me cringe. I know people were dumb in the past, but I'm pretty sure we had turning signals back then | |

| TheGreaser wrote Are you sure? 'Cause that's WAY out of place for a game primarily set in '50s America. Well, in this case, Cresta. Weren't there LHD versions? I agree.

| Not 100% sure if there were LHD Crestas of that generation, but apparently there were LHD Velox models. | |
| Actually this a '57-'62 Vauxhall. I don't know if it's a Cresta or a Velox | |
| The rear is a 63-64 Cadillac, the roof is a 61 Chevy Bubble Top, and the front is a Packard, I got to say this is a made for game |
