I remember when I came home on leave and rented a new VW to drive home. I spent the whole trip stomping all over the floor board trying to get the lights to go on high beam. Had to ask someone and found out it was on the turn signal.
Also, remember when you started the rig by stepping on the mechanical starter actuator? Right near the gas pedal.
Over the years I’ve thought a lot about those dimmer switches on the floor. (I began driving in 1981, and I drove some cars that had those.) I’ve often wondered which is easier: pushing with your foot on that button, or having to reach up with your arm and do it from the console?

The problem with that switch is in the winter up north it would get all rusty eventually. At least they did growing up near Buffalo where they used a lot of rock salt in the winter.
Of course I remember! My ‘65 GTO has one! Wind wings, too! AND, rollup windows. AND, I can get to stuff under the hood. AND, it does not have 250 computers that can go on the FRitz whenever they please!
And, you NEED to hear it in full song!
