I agree. I was a high schooler pumping gas, fixing flats and changing oil in the summer and on weekends in the early 60s. We had a steady customer who bought a new Pontiac each year. In '62 it was a Bonneville wagon with leather bucket seats in the front, AM/FM, a 4 speed, A/C and if I remember right 3x2. I don't know the rear gear, but it went pretty good.
