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.
LOL that was our first beater car (We had a field to learn how to drive in- but also took it through the woods through goat paths lol)- but it didn’t have the push buttons
Had a ton of fun with that car- learned to control slides, and burnouts- and learned how to drive in snow, out in the field where it was safe to learn-
