My grandfolks had a '49 DeSoto. It had what was called a "Fluid Drive". This was the forerunner of an automatic transmission. You would put it in the forward gear, get up to about 20 mph, and let off the accelerator. Then, it would automatically shift from low to high. The weight of that thing was like driving an Army tank!!!

A police department just north of us got '58 Edsels as patrol cars. Those had pushbutton shifters in the center of the steering wheel. If the officer got too agressive pushing the "R" button to make a turnaround, the button would fall down inside the steering column. The car was then stuck in reverse until the local Ford/Edsel dealer could fix it. More than once, officers were seen backing down block after block of street to the garage... with red lights on.
