I've always thought the 63 Dodge version, with its horizontal arrangement, tucked up behind the turn signal stalk, was the least practical of all the p/b's I've seen. It does feel a bit awkward reaching up behind the indicators (as we call them!), trying to get your thumb on the right button - time will tell what it's like while being pinned back in the seat!

Rich Kinsley '64 Polara 4 dr 318poly w/goodies Personally I always felt that it's perfect having the buttons on the left. Nobody else in the car can mess with them accidently or on purpose. Because they are buttons like a typewriter of sorts, you don't even need to look at them to get it right. And the R at the top is far removed from the first-second-drive. It's a natural progression to from bottom up on the shifts. The hard part is fighting the stretch to reach them under the forces of acceleration. So I'm saying I think it's better than a column PRND2L. The floor shift is handy though. ----Please address private mail -- mail of interest to only one person -- directly to that person.
