You can also tell the oldies in the crowd :) !
My GRANDFATHER had a 58 Dodge with the push button automatic. I can still
see him showing all us grandkids how wonderful his new car was (I was 6)
and how the push buttons worked ... my Dad had a 52 Ford Fairlane at the time.
Sure wish I had Grandfather's car now ... two door hardtop, two tone black
and beige (I think).
