[QUOTE=rasper;3418776]He does not mean that. The 1955 and probably the 1956 Chrysler automatics had a lever mounted in the dash. 1957 had the push buttons. I think that was the first year.

I was thinking about something like the dash shifter in the pic below, which is a mid-60s truck, rather than the "typewriter" shifter, although that might also work.

The Benz shifter adapted to a cable should work.
