Now that I know the year of my car)!

Car # 54-750. Now That I know it's a 1968 -but it has push button door handle, single wiper and no turn signals.  I realize it's an early 68. When did the wart hog signals and dual wipers start.  Thanks Jbcollier

Dual wipers were a federal requirement.  UK cars continued with the single wiper.

The signals changed somewhere between car 54/1050 and 54/1080. I can't recall what was in the Lotus Europa book by Robinshaw & Francis but I think it was car 54/1066 (though I could be wrong).  Not only did the warts appear but the door handles appeared.
