Since the discussion made suggestions of lights, lighting and position of same I thought I would share my plans for my van once it is completed.
I intend to use LEDs for lighting and will install signal lamps as the car doesn't have any. At the rear I will be using a lighting board that goes across the top above the two doors. This will carry the brake, side and signal lights. My intent is to make the board removable for shows etc. with the wiring using a concealed plug and receptacle. This way I can have large easily seen lamps on the rear of the car at a height that is in line with most peoples line of sight as it will be about six feet above the road, but not on the car when I want to display it.
The trick will be to try to make the light board look as period as it can be so as it doesn't stick out like sore thumb.
