They were a bad design for northern climates. Within a couple of years, they would be so corroded and jammed from salt and water coming off your snowboots that you'd end up with your high beams stuck on.

How about the pull out knob on the dash to turn the lights on? Those were pretty cool. Or even way back in the stone ages when the speedometer indicated miles per hour...oh wait....nevermind.

I guess next we can discuss attempting to fast forward to a particular song on your 8-track.
