This is another one that kids can't do in vintage cars.Put the car in Overdrive.(Some cars had this factory but a lot of vintage cars had overdrive boxes added)
Push in overdrive knob.Back off accelerator.Push accelerator all the way down.Get up to your speed and back off accelerator.Now overdrive is engaged.

Not my car, mine was a dark blue, but you get the idea.

Love all the odd features of old cars.

That's a little beyond either my desire or my paygrade. You seem to be under the impression that I'm defending them - I'm not. Merely stating that you're wrong. It's a public service I offer, no need to thank me.

Oh man! How cool! Unfortunately I don't remember that one. Must have been in those high-end Chryslers or Cadillacs, no?
