Had one a lot like that only blue, and it had white fenders too. Ahhhh good times!
push button trans My Dad had a Rambler that had this type of trans.
Seems....cumbersome.
LOL...I learned to drive on a car like that a big old red station wagon...I think it was a Dodge Coronete
My Grandpa had a push-button transmission on his early-60s Dodge. I had almost forgotten about that. But not to be outdone, the brand new Dodge Ram pickups shift with a rotary knob.
Couple other things:
- Roadside motels advertising "Color TV."
- High-dive boards at swimming pools. (Heck ANY diving boards at swimming pools.)
- Bakers dozen (you buy 12 donuts and they give you a 13th free)
- A good hard old-school football hit where the player doesn't get flagged and/or fined.
- Studded snow tires (in my part of the country anyway)

Like these?
We can still buy studded snow tires here in Pennsylvania.
How about these? Aluminum Christmas trees. My mother still has one in the original box in her attic. Also, when I was a teenager, our guitar player's dad fixed up a box with a rotating color wheel that we used for our "light show"!
The color wheel brings back a lot of good memories! We had one at home, and there was one for the Christmas tree in my church's social (fellowship) hall.

My father and my late grandfather are both missing their right pinky. My Dad's was the result of an accident when he was a young child. I don't remember how my grandfather lost his. I'll have to ask my father next time I'm talking with him.

Any questions?
There was a violent, blood-thirsty chicken revolution?
Wait a minute... That could be the reason most meat tastes like chicken!
Not to derail but has anyone ever posted on TB a list of musicians (famous or not) with incomplete or missing fingers? It might be kind of inspirational. Two that come to mind are Tony Iommi and Dusty Hill.
My father has always fooled around with guitar, but hadn't played or practiced seriously. Since I was a child, he's always owned a Gibson ES-120T and Gibson Banjo. Both are fun to play.
My late grandfather played the tuba, but I'm not sure if a tuba player would use their pinky regularly.
I played tuba in high school but for the life of me I can't remember if there were 3 valves or 4.
Which may be cause I didn't spend a lot of time practicing it

Well, you're a step ahead of me anyway. I couldn't play a wind instrument if my life depended on it. I've tried to play enough times to know they're just not for me.
