Please excuse my ignorance. You mention overdrive, I have not yet had the pleasure of driving my 56 Patrician, but hopefully soon. I am assuming the H button on the push button selector is overdrive. If this is correct, do you push it at a stop position or while driving? And your dash pad looks great. Mine not so much. Is it original or a replacement?
Thank you, it is a replacement. I had it recovered by a company in California. It took a couple months for them to complete the work.
Now if you decide to go that route, it is a PAIN to do. The dash board has to come out and then be separated (some say they could separate the dash with it in place, but I dont have the patience for that). To remove the dash board you either need to disconnect all the wires that are attached to it, or disconnect all the wires in the engine bay and pull the harness through the firewall. Either is not fun.
