I'd drive one like this.

No words needed.
I’ve been lucky enough to be a passenger in one and it’s something you’ll never forget.

Also, the Forward Look Mopar era was incredible. Although it was made more famous by the movie Christine, the 1957 Plymouth Fury was a beautiful world unto itself.

Loved that movie.

But you'll get the straight dope if you watch "The 24 Hour War" on Netflix.

A must watch documentary for old car fans.
Couldn't find this on Netflix last night. Found it on Pluto. It's real good.

Yeah, I was starting to wonder about y'all. We had a friend that had a '69 SS convertable with the 396. Fun car to drive -- in the summer-- on dry pavement. Absolutely the worst snow car ever.

Watched every bit of that video. I'd sell off a couple grandkids for 1 of the 50.:D

In my opinion, the most beautiful Detroit muscle car ever produced.

Why the heck are there three shifters?

Pretty much.
Quote:
The Lightning Rods system was set up to work like any ordinary automatic gear selector, more or less, with a conventional PRND shift pattern. The difference was in the two additional levers: the far right lever and release button performed the 1-2 upshift, while the middle lever and button performed the 2-3 upshift. Or the driver could simply leave the lever in D for Drive or OD for Overdrive and drive normally.
