Well, I may be remembering badly, about exactly where the radio sits in the
console. We had a '69 that had a radio in the console, and that one is gone.
The '66 we have now has no radio at all. But I like shortened shifters. Keeps
my knuckles away from the dash. I took about an inch and a half out of it;
could have gone shorter. Not much more effort, and lots more fun to shift.
