Growing up, we had a red 1963 Dodge Dart convertible that had a push button transmission. Passengers thought that was so strange 🙂. No power steering. All 4 of us girls drove it through high school and my youngest sister took it to U of Texas in the 80s. Dad replaced the original bench front seat with bucket seats which I think was a boneheaded move. One of my younger sisters has it and it still runs! Those things were made to last. A little skimpy on safety features, though.

The car cleaned up nicely. Some radio delete plates are quite valuable to car restorers since most cars came with radios, making them rather scarce. Motorcraft 10W-30 diesel oil is good for vintage cars since it contains zinc which is needed for the non-roller lifters. It's a good idea to cover the alternator with a plastic bag when washing an engine.

My top tip for polishing chrome is to use aluminium/aluminum foil, just wash the chrome down and then rub the foil on with a little water.

lol, this brings back such a great memory for me! My Dad had a car like this when I was quite young. This was pre- mandatory seat belt laws. One of the shift buttons on our old car would pop right off when you shifted into a higher gear, so it was the kid in front's job to crawl and grope around on the floor to find the button before you needed to shift down again. Good grief, it is a wonder we all survived that era.
