I had a '58 Mercury Park Lane with a 430 cubic inch/360 horsepower engine and a push-button transmission.

Like the Edsel, the problem wasn't exactly with the transmission...it was the push button controls, which were electric and more prone to get out of whack, unlike the Chrysler push button controls, which were mechanical.

The Edsel had the buttons in the center of the steering wheel.

I used to collect old cars...gave it up, and now I dabble in old synthesizers.
