Maybe it's a little shot at BMW. They put a graphic like that on their Light Weights.

Many drivers used their country of origin flag colors as a sign on their cars in the 50's-60's. This was very common on racing cars during that era. Just a thought.

It says, "I chipped the hell out of the paint on the corner of the hood when I slipped the pull wire for the electrical cutoff switch through, so I decided to celbrate my German heritage by including the national colors!"
