walter,
the way I heard it, the government wanted to standardize automatic
transmission selectors, in the name of safety. Chrysler's pushbuttons lost
out to the column shift. There was more to the story but I can't recall it
at present. the Edsel had pushbuttons on some models as did some other
makes, but all had gone belly up or switched to column selectors...what was
the last year of Mopar pushbuttons anyway? Roger
