re: #296 The Very Reverend Battleaxe of Knowledge

Unless you pushed “Drive” on the middle-of-the-steering-wheel gear selector and it shifted into reverse instead and lunged backwards into a light standard, like my Mom did. “We’re getting rid of this thing right now!” I took my driver’s test in that car. Flunked parallel parking for obvious reasons—20’ space, 18’ car….

I was looking at pictures of the 3 years of Edsels. Looked like they got rid of that feature after the first year. That and the drum speedometer.
