Re; [Chrysler300] Right hand, left hand

[KEN WILSON <jblken@xxxx>]

Everything went well when the tire shop put tires on my 62 sport 300 - 
after I informed them that there are left hand lug nuts on the car (I 
did watch the tire removal and installation). They also use torque 
wrenches to finish tighten the lugs rather then the air wrench. 
For me the best part was standing back enjoying frustration the 
mechanic was having, sitting behind the wheel (after starting the car to 
drive into the shop), trying to find something to get the car moving. 
After about 2 minutes I walked out the waiting area, reached through the 
open window, released the brake (he could not release the brake) and 
put the car in gear for him. He wasn't a kid, probably 7 years old 
when Chrysler ceased the pushbutton shift.

For me I'm lucky to be still around to remember driving the new 
pushbutton drive Desoto in 1956.
