If any one would like a antique door knob for a shift lever, one of our club members has completed a number of knobs that are already to be installed with the correct A shift lever threads. He does a beautiful job, and is very reasonable. Send a PM to me and I will e-mail you his name, address and telephone no. here in Quincy, CA.

In high school in the late fifties, we drilled and tapped an 8-ball for the A shifter.
I guess someone else liked it too. It lasted about a day!

I have an eight ball in my '55 Ford Ranchwagon. You have to push the "8" to shift from "Park" to "Reverse" or "Neutral to "Drive"

I've got a Colonel Sanders bobblehead............I've been thinking of decapitating him and making it into a shift knob.

Not sure what kind of car this came from had to get an adapter made for the different threads. Safety device for anybody new driving the car.

Vermin came with a tan, "plastic" looking MUSHROOM knob, that may have had a clock in it???
I tried to lay a QUARTER in it, for GAS money, BUT it wouldn't quite fit.
