On the 67s and 68s, the flasher switch is inside the glovebox door, right
next to the remote trunk release.
Emergency flashers became mandatory in 1966, if I recall correctly, at least
in the USA. I have added them to most of my older cars, kits are available
from any of the aftermarket accessory vendors, for both 6 volt and 12 volt
cars.
