And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
This one must have had that new fangled high beam selector on the column, otherwise it could have been that old metal button switch on the floor just below the parking brake.
I liked it when the gas pedal was hinged at the bottom and not hanging from the firewall. From driving trucks I suppose. Always thought you had better control.
My first automobile was a 1966 Chevy Corvair "Corsa" convertible with a 4-speeed manual transmission. With one exception, I have always had cars with manual gear boxes. Until I die, I plan to always have manual transmissions in my cars.
Yes to the high beam button. My '53 Chevy panel truck has a starter button on the floor by the gas pedal! Have to put your foot sideways to engage the starter sequence. Turn the key as much as you want and nothing will happen. Great anti theft device too, unscrew the starter button and take it with you!
None of the kids know how to play an organ these days.
