From memory we had a Packard car years ago the radio had motorized tuning by a switch in the floor like a dimmer switch.
Yes, and we can't remember what we did yesterday.... at least I can't.Dad's 1937 International-ton-and-a-half had a factory accelerator pedal that looked like a teaspoon welded to the end of a rod. There was nothing nearby to rest the side of your foot against so going thru a bumpy field meant setting off a chain reaction between full throttle and no throttle!
Crazy how we remember these things after 60 or 70 years, isn't it?
Pull out the choke, turn on the ignition, step on the starter...
When is the last time you did that in a car or truck?
The old army truck I posted a photo of doesn’t even have a key. Just a switch on the dash labeled “ignition” that energize the ignition (but not the starter). So it’s:Ultimate anti theft. Carb engine and a 4 speed. No one is stealing it. You got a 4th pedal just to start it, just leave the keys in it, it ain't going anywhere
