I think my mothers 53 Desoto had pushbuttons in the steering wheel.

I recall the buttons first appearing in the 57' DeSoto.


Didn't the '53 (like most Chrysler products) have a "cluthflite"
transmission, where you could use it as an automatic OR push a clutch
pedal to disengage it?



The 1948 Chrysler product on which I took my Connecticut driver's
license test had something like that, but I don't recall what you are
mentioning on my father's 1953 Dodge. It was a fully automatic. I have
no memory of a "standard shift" Chrysler product from those days.

I do remember a buddy's father getting a shiny new '57 DeSoto and on it
was the first push button shifter I had ever seen.
