I see an old Dodge logo on the dash in the thumbnail. Could be a circa-1965 Coronet. Comments? |

What's visible of the body seems to match that. A 1965 Coronet dash also matches the one pictured, whereas 1964 and earlier do not (the push-button transmission means it's automatically older than 1966). |

It is a Dodge logo. And could that "push-button" auto transmission NOT be push-button? See the sliding lever to the right. |

Eh? All push-button Torqueflites featured the sliding lever. I don't see anything out of place. |

There's a Dodge logo on the rear seat too. |

What's the function of the sliding lever? |

1964 was the last model year Chrysler Corp used push-button transmissions. (Those are heater controls you are seeing, not transmission buttons, BTW. The trans controls were on the left side of the steering column.) -- Last edit: 2010-04-23 15:43:41 |

jettalover: The lever (called a "pawl") was a lock-out feature, to keep the buttons from being pressed by careless fingers at the wrong time (like pushing the "Park" button while the car was traveling at 65 mph on the freeway, for example). Commander is correct, however, that push-buttons were last used in '64, and that these are heater controls. -- Last edit: 2012-03-05 23:26:18 |
