Fascinating.

This unit is a good bit larger than the control for the '56 Packard, which makes me wonder if it is more like the mechanical pushbutton system used by 1956-1964 Chrysler product and another with the 1957-1958 Mercury. More recently, I've heard that some 1958-1962 Ramblers also had a mechanical pushbutton shift for their automatic transmission.

Yet, I see some electrical terminals at the rear of the framework on this unit.

Tell us more about your pushbutton system!
