Customs perfect shifter knob

I was looking around for something old and different to use for a shifter knob. I can across this late 40's early 50's microphone on e-bay. I love it and it works well with the dash. Just thought I would share my find with everybody.

 

So?, do you just tell the car what gear you want now .

 

I ran something very similar on my 50 Chevy.

 

Very cool. I thought about painting it to match the dash like you did. Still might do it.

 

Well, you found something different that everyone else doesn't have. But I wonder how comfortable it is. I ***ume its an automatic and don't have to move it much.

 

yeah, their cool, Ronnie here has one in his '57 wagon, it has a little bulb in it looks really cool.

Well i see no clutch pedal... But i would use it on a 4 speeder

 

Yes it is an auto but on the same note it really does fit the hand quite well.

 

I wouldn't paint it. Looks nice the way it is. I also like those old beer tapper handles.

 

I think that is sweet, love it. It really fits the car.

 

Looks great. Good choice.

 

Very cool, don't paint it.

 

that type of shifter may have been in the earliest form of KIT KNIGHT RIDER

 

I really like it. I'd like to use one if I get the chance. For now I'll use the gl*** door knob trick.

 

Put me down in the"dig it" column.

 

Sweet!

 

Thanks everybody. It's really nice to be able to show off car stuff to people who get it. My wife and kids just rolls there eyes at me.

 

What shifter rod do you have and how did you match threads of mic and shifter?

 

The shifter is just a cheap B&M shifter, I don't remember the model. I just took a cheap plastic knob and took the insert out and fixed it into the base of the microphone. The more I drive the car the more I love it.

 

I like the Hurst "T" handle...

 

That is really COOL!!! I want one..

 

That is so cool,looks like Buck Rogers space ship ,art deco.I like it.
