Re: [Chrysler300] shifters

[mrmopar66@xxxxxxx]

Some new cars, possibly including this Lincoln, have a really "unique" feature of headlamps that actually pivot to match the direction the steering wheel is turning.  Nowhere in the ad does it mention the genius of Preston Tucker and the 1948 Tucker Torpedo.  I guess enough time has passed so that there aren't enough people left on this planet who would remember!  Everything old (and great) is new again.

To preserve 300 letter car content, let me remind everyone that the normal shifter in our cars from 1956 to 1963 was the pushbutton console on the left side of the dashboard.
Fast forward to 2013--which will come by and by. For whatever reason I happened upon the Lincoln MKZ 2013 website. They are crowing about the new shifter--pushbuttons. Pushbuttons, they say, save space on the console, I suppose for more cupholders. They put the buttons where our heater controls used to be. Hmm!
Would this be another example of mighty Mopar leading the way?
Just sayin'
