The push button gear selector switch aka "typewriter transmission", inspired by Mayane

Above 1958 Plymouth Fury


the above is a Mercury... odd and cool


Notice that the Reverse would be lit up in red at night. And lastly, the Edsel as an honorable mention because it's not a Mopar like all the rest
Lincolncadillac says "Second from the bottom (ocer the Edsel is a Mercury 1957)" if you can translate that, let me know what the hell he's talking about.
The bottom photo is an Edsel, I photographed it myself, and could link to the entire gallery if it were necessary. I don't mind being corrected when I'm wrong, but this isn't one of those times I have more, but finding them in the last 7000 posts will take time

an unusual car, the 1951 Kaiser traveler, 2 doors, sort of a camper station wagon

This is the only good photo of the entire car I took, but it shows the design of the tailgate with a 2 door car instead of a long roof... unique I think. I've never seen another like it.



The above speedo and instrument cluster is sweet. Next to the 50's Nash all in one pod, I'd pick this one anyday for a hot rod.


This board game is a true find, John snapped it up because it has Kaiser among the car makers on the Bingo card


John and his wife Pat have put together a terrific nostalgia collection of 1950's picnic and camper equipment... the fishing gear could be right out of a great grandpa's shed

Variety in gear shift indicators





PRND21... a variety of gear indicators from the 1950's and 60's















I think it's interesting to find that there were more than a couple ways for an automatic to name the gears. What was the S in PNDSLR? Was O in PRNODL2L1 for overdrive? Must have been. One of these has D2D1 and then L.... and another has DL2L1... what do you suppose the difference is between 2 drive gears and one low, versus one drive gear and 2 low gears?
