Reproduction Push Buttons!
Posted: Thu Apr 07, 2022 12:00 pm
It's a miracle. Dick Koch has been working with a 3-D printing vendor in Florida to reproduce pushbuttons for the '59 Plymouth automatic transmissions! Take a look at these production pix:
The button tubes are solid, with the "D", "N", "R", "2" and "1" embossed on the end for TorqueFlites, and "L" replacing the "2" and "1" buttons on PowerFlites. Please note: In a standard 1959 Plymouth instrument panel cluster, there is a clear plastic window on both sides of the panel that transmits light from the #57 panel bulbs to the pushbuttons for both the transmission and the heater. With age, these plastic windows can become clouded. It is recommended that to maximize button brightness, the panel bulbs be replaced with inexpensive LEDs that can be found here.
Here's a PowerFlite shift mechanism with a set of new buttons (sorry, Dick has a PowerFlite shift mechanism, but no '59's equipped with PowerFlites):
$250 a set, for either a TorqueFlite or PowerFlite set. Free shipping in the continental U.S. No returns. (Only available in complete button sets; individual button production costs would be prohibitive.)
