Fred,

One more the author forgot was the radio button on the floor similar to the high beam button. My father owned a 59' Cadillac Eldorado Barritz Conv which had the (factory) floor mounted button to change the pre-set stations.

Come to think of it, the auto builders should also incorporate the "speed warning feature" that you could calibrate with a little nob from the speedo. This option came with many cars of that era. I guess the "cruise control" invention made that feature obsolete.

Terrific Fred, Pantera. Missing those bench seats!Buckets dont' allow for 'ridin' country';-)

My car's high beam on the stalk takes some finesse, and often kicks in the highs. Real silly!
Oh yeah, pantera, the foot activated was great. Nostalgia...!
