[Spridgets] No LBC - 1951? Pontiac

[Kitterer Bob]

Maybe it was a Plymouth, they had electric shifts but that would have been in the early '60s.  My mother put one in "reverse" and went nose first in to the garage.

He noted that dad had trouble ".  .  .  with the electric gear shift that periodically refuse to go in reverse." I never heard of a Pontiac of that era with electric shift. Couldn't find anything on the web after a short search. I suspect that the car had a problem but that my uncle didn't remember the correct problem. Dad and my uncle have both passed on so I can't ask them. Anyone heard of this?
