Re: IML: Chrysler and the Fed's

Mercury used pushbottons in 57 adn 58.  Edsil used them in the center of the 
steering wheel in 58 only.  I think they quit because it cost more to have 
two systems, and Ford made a whole lot more cars, so they went back to 
steering column mounted levers.
   Personally I think that the pushbuttons were actually safer than the 
shift lever.
