That dark rectangle in front of the rear side window is a "semaphore" turn signal. When the driver wants to signal a turn, the semaphore will pop out of the car body (it's hinged, I believe at the top) and light up (semaphores didn't flash).
Here's a picture of one in operation: www.oldbug.com/125 053.jpg
Semaphores were mostly used in European Beetles; American safety laws soon forced Volkswagen to install flashing turn signals on all cars destined for export to the US.

Semaphore to Fort Glanville Tourist Railway. The steam train departs from the foot of the jetty at the end of the popular Semaphore Road cafe strip, and parallels the Esplanade and the sand dunes of one of Adelaide's most popular swimming beaches, before passing through the dunes near historic Fort Glanville at Point Malcolm. In South Australia.
These are the three semaphores at the west siding switch at Levy, New Mexico. The Raton Line is BNSF, historic AT&SF track and presently used by the Southwest Chief, Amtrak Trains 3 and 4. This sequence shows signals responding to the approach of westbound number 3, the train passing through the signals and then the signals clearing. The semaphore protecting the west end of the siding is always in stop position.
When all track circuits are open, both signals point to the sky indicating all is clear.
The last remnant to Castlemaine's once vast yard on the DOWN side of the station is the magnificent semaphore signal gantry, where K153 waits to set back. 21/5/2016
Foundation stone 27 Nov 1882 by Mr L L Furner, designed by D Williams, Jnr with schoolroom beneath chapel, opened 20 Mar 1883, final service 26 Mar 2000, restored 2013-14. Earliest services in wooden chapel in Turton St, opened 25 Nov 1878, later used as a school.
“A few months ago, circumstances forced upon the attention of the Semaphore Baptist church and congregation the necessity of securing a new place of worship combining in itself the following advantages:— 1. A better and more prominent site. 2. A more substantial and permanent building. 3. Enlarged accommodation. The present wooden chapel was built four years ago in a narrow side street. During this winter it has been found only large enough for ordinary morning congregations, and it became a serious question how friends who visit the seaside could be accommodated in the summer. . . The building is to be constructed of Dry Creek stone, with cement dressings, and the style is that often adopted by Baptists and generally known as ‘tabernacle style’.” [Advertiser 28 Nov 1882]

Ballarat to Ballan - Friday 05-11-2021.
The second of the Santos sponsored bike rides at the APPEA conference and exhibition. This one set off before 6 in the morning (yech) and was quite high speed, for me. I was one of only two riders on hybrid (flat bar) bikes; everybody else was on road bikes and it showed. I did manage to keep up, however!
