67 Console shifter button.

Metal buttons were produced and they were not repops. My dads 66 Chrysler 300 convertable had a metal button. I remember it like yesterday. He could not get it off. It was frooze to the threads and the cable would twist trying to remove it.

How do I know it wasn't a repop? The year this happened was about 1974.

Weren't they switched to plastic due to rattling from vibration? And then plastic plated discontinued because of the chrome peeling was scratching/cutting people?
