My mother had a cherry '70 Maverick that was painted at a local shop. It had the 3 on the tree shifter too. It was backed up near the building awaiting her arrival to pick it up. When she arrived to get it, the "shop kid" was sent out to get it for her......Jumped right in and fired it up, backing it right into one of those big bronze Y shaped Fire Hydrants!(mounted on the wall) He thought it was an automatic in park. He nearly totaled a car that was just there for a freshen-up paint job.
