IML: Voice Command radio (floor switch) and other advanced things

[Paul Volkmann <blackplumcoupe@xxxxxxxxx>]

When the article of the '64 and '65 Ghias came out I was reading it at work and one of the guys commented 'old crappy car'. He happened to drive his dad's '95 Mustang GT conv that day and I told him that these cars have more standard equipement than the Mustang has available to it. He replied "Just more levers to push"
 After that comment I saw a picture of the dash with the push-button trans, took a quick peek at the Mustang, and asked him "How do you shift that Mustang" --- "You push the button" ---- "..... and move the lever?", then showed him the pic.

Where did luxury go?

The other switch is used for the seek function of the
radio. No kidding. You tap it with your foot, and
the radio automatically seeks out the next strong
station. This feature was available on the AM, and on
the AM/FM mono radios from the factory. The Multiplex
AM/FM units did not get this feature, though.

My favorite trick is to have an ignorant bystander
come and listen to my radio. I will then claim the
radio has a voice-actuated function, that was "new for
1967". I will say "Seek!" in a strong, commanding
voice, while secretly tapping the button with my left
foot. The little orange indicator will begin its trek
eastward on the dial, and the radio will lock into the
next station. At this point, the bystander's mouth
usually opens wide enough to catch a few errant flies,
and they utter some indecipherable words of
wonderment.
