"Check out the ones Darryl Hollenbeck's car then" thanks jimmygrrr
...cool, I'm rarely on instagram, so I wouldn't have found those. Can someone post some more pics!! (Fordite,Bakelite,Hobo nickels,Hamb Coin, & Traditional)... I like everything about this thread so far.

 

Not nearly as happy as I am! Thanks again!!

 

The only "custom" shift knob I ever had was a cheap chromed piston that was sold in the novelty section of the parts store back in the late 50's early 60's. It rattled around my parents house till they passed and now it rattles around mine. Can't take a picture of it cause it is there and I am here.
Kinda surprised no one showed one of them. There were a lot of them.

 

That is cool.

 

You mean like this one.....

 

Pretty much, except mine is much cheaper looking. But, what the hell, I sure felt good when I put it on that 37 chev 4dr. When I was done with that car it was the only thing worth saving.

I just used an old glass doorknob on mine. Antique shops have a shit load of them.

 

just a chrome ball. dad told me it was from a harley.

 

Column shift knobs count??

 

Back in 1959,The first shift nob I had on my 28 bobtail hotrod {3 on the floor by Hurst Indy to a 57 Ford tranny on a Y-block Thunderbird V8} was a Regal Beer{ it was a local beer here in Miami Florida,but a good buddy in 1960 gave me a very cool an tall Schlitz that I still love an have today on my old hotrod. To bad I lost track of my smaller Regal Beer one many years back,not becuz I liked it any better at all,but turns out its going now for very high $$$ and could of used that $ for hotrod piggy bank of fun.

 

You guys gots nice knobs!!

If you were lucky enough to get a beer tap handle you were the cat's ass.

 

Beer tap handles are fun...but tee's hold up better for flatshifting

When it's a 4 on the tree, it counts in my book.
Heard about them for years but never have seen one.

 

What was the 4 Speed on the Tree off of?
European?, Mercedes?

 

Based on his avatar, I'm guessing Ford Econoline.
IIRC, in the mid 60's, Chevy also offered 4 on the tree in vans, not positive though.

 

Wow..... I have heard of them, but never actually saw one with my own eyes.
Kind of like seeing a Unicorn!
Thanks for the info, and I agree it does look like his Avatar.

 

Yup, it is a 1964 Econoline Heavy Duty, with a four speed. Worked pretty good, too!!

 

ok, now I am officially blown away!

 

If I had to pick a "most coveted" on this thread, this is it. DAMN!
