I'm sure we could all add our own favorites - probably depending upon our age....     How about the push button transmission on the old Dodges (I had a '60 Pioneer!)......

I had a 62 or 63 (I think) Dodge pickup with a pushbutton auto. I kinda liked it.

I also like vinyl tops - don't care what they say! :stirpot:

I agree about vinyl tops......         One new item I don't like -- electronic gearshifts ......

i love my vinyl top.

branded decals, what about the billboards or R/T stripes

fake hood scoops, most of our cars had those!
