Carburetors!
Vent windows, being able to get manual everything, and having RWD as a common feature rank right up there as well. Oh, and dashes made out of anything but plastic...

I miss those big floor vents that you could open as well.

" but most of all I miss cars and trucks with a FRAME!!! and a well built body roll the thing 3 times get back in it and drive it home"

The body count in those old machines was impressive. The vehicle would often stay intact while the squishy creatures inside died, were injured, or were ejected.
I'd rather throw away the vehicle than be like the folks in "Signal 30" (which is on YouTube if anyone is nostalgic for the old days).
