yup, only one stick if it has a manual shift trans, and only push buttons on the dash with auto-shift or automatic trans!!!
my 49 had a big 6 cylinder gas engine and a twin stick quad box trans

Actually I first learned to drive in a Massey Ferguson Tractor pulling a trailer full of hay on the farm we lived on. I always remember I braked so sharply that one of the workers fell off the back of the trailer!

The first I remember "driving" was a 50 something ford pickup with a Marmon-Harington 4X4 conversion. My Dad would start it then climb in the back to feed the cattle bags of cubes, and I would perch on my Knees and steer it. I was probably about 4 or 5. What I actually learned to drive was a 59 Ford F100 that had a 292 y block and a 4 speed tranny.
