Much the same story as the one above, I drove my 40 coupe to a local Auto paint store recently and a young guy and a young woman from behind the counter came out to check it over. After much thought the woman said How do you change gears? Me; "Its got what is called three on the tree". Woman: "Really, I dont see any tree". Me: No the steering column is called the tree and that lever thing there is what you change gears with. It's got 3 forward gears.
Woman: Really, I havent seen 1 of them before. Thats novel. They must have only
made them for a short time because all the cars I've ever seen have either stick shift or T Bar and we get plenty of cars here to look at because I do the color matching.
At least the young guy had enough smarts to keep quiet and just look.
