AND NOW yet another annoying story from the old days
My first "mine" car (in high school had been somewhat driving Dad's "work" car, a 55 Chev stick waggon with a 5 hole 235)
So my first "mine" was a 57 Chev Moredoor 210, 265 2bbl and cast iron Powerglide. I had to look this up evidently the pattern was PNDLR, and the SHIFTER was a CONVERTED 3 speed on the column stick, so there were NO detents. This so called friend of mine was driving, and on the "pretence" of "finding more gears" he must have put the damn thing into reverse at least 3 times in about 10 seconds at about 40 MPH with me over there yelling at the top of my lungs and trying to get my hands on the key.
DAMN I WAS MAD!!!!
By the way that PG in all it's "cast iron-ness" lasted just about part of 1 whole summer. In went a 3 speed with a Hurst "misery shifter"
