I turned 66 today, so my memory can go fairly far back, and earlier saw a FB post asking to name something we saw in a car when we were kids that kids nowadays would never understand? Strangely, the first thing that would have come to mind was my Aunt's '57 (I think) Rambler American, and it's push button transmission. For some reason, I'd always remembered that.
Last weekend my wife, her mother and our niece, all took off for a girl's trip up to Oklahoma. Since they were traveling in my wife's Tahoe, my niece, who was meeting my wife and her mother here at the house, asked if she could leave her car in our garage. I just asked that she leave her keys in case I had to move her vehicle....a new Buick. I did have to move it........and guess what? A push button transmission! On the console, not on the dash like the Rambler. I was shocked.
