Found this pic on Facebook:
I had been driving for a few years before I encountered a car that had "three on the tree" or, in my mind, a stick shift with the shifter where an automatic trans selector should be.
All the manuals I'd driven, to this point, were on the floor and all the automatics on the column.
I remember being relieved and disappointed to find it was simply the same H-pattern as a floor shifter; just rotated 90°.
I was expecting something a lot more cryptic.

My first car, a used '66 SAAB 96, had 3-on-the-tree, , as well as a 3-cylinder/2-stroke engine, front-wheel drive, a canvas sun-roof, and fold-down back seat to extend the trunk space. And it got 40 miles to the gallon!
ReplyDeleteMy dad had a Nova with a 3 speed on the column. It had so much slop in I was never learned to tell what gear it was in. Learned to drive a manual on a VW Bug. So much easier.
