Which old car had the buttons on the dash? That was odd. My aunt had one when I was a youngster.

I know some late-50s and early-60s Chryslers had push-button automatic transmissions...

The only one I remember hearing about is the Edsel.

I believe that idea was actually invented by Henry’s nephew Edsel Ford whose glorious car model of the same name used it with limited success. Chevrolet and a couple of others copied it . . . but not for long.

My mom and dad...had this old grey Dodge with red interior...Had wings at both rears...
Had a push button transmission on the left hand side of the steering wheel.
Sometimes my mom would push "R" and it would go forward!! My dad hated that car!!! Ha!!
This looked a lot like the car...but our's was butt ugly!!

Ramblers and Ambassadors, and most Chryslers (Dodge, Plymouth) late ‘50s - early ‘60s.

We're trending back towards that design, now that most automatic transmission shifters are fully electronic.

My father had a push button Plymouth Valiant. It was supposedly the coming thing in automatic transmissions.
