Physical HVAC controls. Manual handbrake.
Buttons. A third pedal. The smell of gasoline. An engine you can see (and work on) when you open the hood.
A physical radio tuning knob, smoking window, real chrome.
The physical cable that connected my accelerator pedal to the throttle body. Always felt cool being able to rev it with my hand.
I miss the lack of tech distractions. My first car had the basic AM/FM radio and cassette player (yes, I'm old, lol), but it was all I needed. It was also just so refreshing to drive without all the screens and buttons demanding attention.
My 69 Camaro had air shocks you could inflate like a tire
Manual transmission, high-end cloth seats, actual leather, physical controls, communicative steering, no screens, analogue gauges.
I just wanted to mention that my first car, also a Chevy, had the manual window crank stuck/broken once with the window DOWN, in a late fall afternoon. After that first car all my other cars have automatic windows and I’ve never had a window stuck since. 😉
Bright lights switch on the floor. A back seat that could sit four people across with both cheeks down. A big lumpy cam that I could feel in my chest while sitting at a stop light. Being able to literally crawl under the hood to work on the engine.
