Maybe it was a comet.. .which one did Nader screw with, that was it I

push button, on the dash, that I remember clearly..
The push button trans were Chrysler TorqFlites and the Edsel (in the
steering wheel hub), as I recall.

I think my mothers 53 Desoto had pushbuttons in the steering wheel.
I recall the buttons first appearing in the 57' DeSoto.

Maybe. Just seem to remember them on her car. By the time I got to drive
her car was a 1959 Chevy Impala bat mobile.

My brother had a 59 Impala convertible! He hit a huge oak tree with
that thing head on, he was going about 60, then braked some, so don't
know what speed he ended up at, but it hit hard, I flew from the back
seat to the front! Didn't even get to the radiator, we just backed up
and drove off.
