I looked it up - is this the beast? http://charleston.craigslist.org/hsh/4375855458.html It looks like something that would be a lot of fun if everything works. Those knobs and buttons get stuck. The insides would be interesting to look at. It would for sure have to have been fully serviced to make me want to spend that much money on it though.

reminded me of my 1963 New Yorker. Those dang buttons sure took some getting use to as well as the parking lever--gave me a few hair raising moments. No more buttons for me either

UM levers can fall off, too - we used to have an ancient VW bus. It would either shift gears or fall out of the track. I had a real panic when the gear shift fell off when I crossed the RR tracks - it's a wonder it had a transmission. When you opened it and then went to shut it, the door either shut, jammed or fell off. It fell off in a thunder storm at 11pm one time. ARGH.
