Hmm, you're a younger guy, eh? Anyways, it's an "H" pattern. Toward you and down is 1st, away from you and up is 2nd, away from you and down is 3rd. That leaves reverse toward you and up.

Oh I still have 2 years left of the 30 era lol. just never owned a 3 in the tree before.
I guess that dates me. I had to laugh when we took our '51 into the tire store for new tires. I offered to put the truck on the lift, and the 30-something guy said, "insurance says I have to do it". He climbed in, then sat there stumped trying to figure out where the starter was & how to shift it.
How many of you guys out there remember the hidden gas cap on 49-50 cadillacs, the accelerator pedal starter in mid 50's Buicks and the mysteries of Plymouth Hy-drive transmissions?
