"The only thing that’s stopped me from buying a Lincoln is that stupid push button gear shifter on the dashboard."

No, there is nothing “Classic” about new computer vehicles.

I was raised in a family that had either pushbutton automatics, or three-on-the-tree & four-on-the floor sticks. I remember the first time I saw a 1955 Plymouth with the lever for the PowerFlite automatic sticking out from the center of the dashboard. It just seemed... wrong. Decades later I got into a new minivan that an organization wanted me to drive, and saw the pathetic, vestigial excuse for a gear selector on an oddly placed dash/console. It also just seemed... wrong.
