The key phrase here is "On the column"  - don't recall ever seeing any domestic cars like that, but there was a kid a few blocks over in my area growing up - he first had a Vauxhall sedan with the column shifted 4 speed. Next he had a really nice looking Ford Cortina - same thing. Both western European cars. I recall that Mercedes may have had a similar sedan in the 60's or 70's....

63 Impala, 230 6cyl with 3 on the tree. Not a 4 speed. Reverse is not counted.

Acrost the big pond they refer to it as "positive earth"... Lucas Electrics  Did it run in the rain?? Most did not....

 

Speaking as one who was brought up with Lucas electrics and plenty of rain, the last under lined section is totally a myth.  

 

Also gear levers and clutches are for real drivers. Sort the men from the boys.

 

I shall now go in to hiding.

In that instance, I’m glad all my girls are capable of being more manly than most boys!

  My first was a 1974 Chevy Vega GT with a 4 speed stick…then a 1976 Mercury Capri with a small v-6 and a manual tranny. That Capri was fast!

  Then had a mid 70’s Corolla SR5 for a short time. Moved up to a 1979 Chevy van with 3 on the tree and a small 305 under the hood.    Couple other manual cars/ trucks came and went but the most fun was my 93 Vette with a 6 speed. That one hauled azz!!
