Thinking of not having the gear pattern on the shift knob....

While stationed in Germany back in the 70's, I had a '69 Opel Rekord with a 4 speed on the column. It was the standard pattern for a floor shift 4 speed, but I'd never experienced a 4 speed column shift before. I used to spend significant time driving military cars with 3 on the tree shifters, which made me focus on what I was driving from day to day.

1st gear on my car was reverse on the military AMC Matadors or Chevy Bel Aires...
