We had a car that had push button shifting- I can’t recall now where the buttons were located, I think maybe the dash. I vaguely recall a rubber bladed fan too, butmigh5a been in a different vehicle

I miss my old “3 on the tree” steering column shifting, foot dimmer switch (although those eventua,.y wore out and could cause fires- was riding with a friend once and his truck carpet caught fire from the dimmer switch- the fumes were something else.

Miss the pull down bar on the back of the front seat (lol- dad was a mechanic who worked on a 12 cylinder jag if I recall right, that had a pull down bar in back- us kids would pretend to be rich folks being chauffeured around when my dad took it for a “test drive” (had to clean the carbon out by flooring it often) lol

He also worked on 2 DeLoreans that 2 brothers owned. Those were kinda neat.

My first car was a 1960 Dodge Dart (aka the Batmobile) with a push button transmission. And yes, you could see paradise by the dashboard light.
