Re: Pic Thread: Station Wagons
I'm more amused by the 4 ducts for heat(?)/defrost and AC sitting on top of the dash!

Deadhead, it's just a cable that the buttons push in or out to move the selector valve.

Re: Pic Thread: Station Wagons
Just one cable does all that? Park lever and all? It still sounds complicated.

Re: Pic Thread: Station Wagons
My only memory of the push button Plymouths. We had one when I was a kid around 1960 and one saturday night dad took the family with him while doing some bill collections and wouldn't you know it that mess of controls fowled up with us in one of the worst parts of town and on a saturday night. Dad had only a small pocket sized screw driver with him but managed to get it going again. We never owned another one.

Re: Pic Thread: Station Wagons
Before the buttons Chrysler had the lever out of the dash. I drove a '55 like that, not mine.

The 2021 Suburbans have dash mounted push buttons to shift the tranny. Back to the future

Re: Pic Thread: Station Wagons
That’s neat to see. Thanks for posting. Now I’m curious about how all that linkage operates.

Re: Pic Thread: Station Wagons
There are probably old Chrysler mechanics that are trying to forget.

Re: Pic Thread: Station Wagons
I felt like I had to be rich just to read the description. When you see such literary finesse expelled on a vehicle description it translates to me, "Gonna runya big bucks buddy".
![]() Such a cool car. My dad had a '70 Coupe de Ville I enjoyed taking out for a cruise. If I spend big bucks on a classic luxury wagon I want to be able to bring along a lot of friends

Re: Pic Thread: Station Wagons
I had a '62 Tempest wagon like that. The were originally transaxles with a rope drive ( fiberglass drive shaft to the transaxle), Obviously, that has had a 4 link rear put in it. Mine had leaf spring hangars welded on, and in place of the original 4 cyl. I had a 327 and a 3 speed manual, and a ford 9". I bought it as a project and finished it. These cars have no frames - just a unit body stamped floor pan. Not really good solid welding points for hanging rear leafs as I found out after tearing the axle off the fabricated spring mounting points.

Re: Pic Thread: Station Wagons
I'd drive that, but not to the grocery store. Although, one day at my Safeway was a street-prepped and registered '57 Chevy pro-mod in the parking lot. yep, full race chassis, 'glass body, air brushed bumpers and lights.
Mr. Carbuyer: I want a Corvette Mrs. Carbuyer: But I need a station wagon solution:
