Yes I did.

Fancy Cadillac had auto dimmer on dash.

Some of my vehicles still have most of those things.

A few of those, but not all. I started noticing cars in the '70s

Positive grounds on some

All the above and.....Castiron hemi, Push button Powerflight trans (dash lever in 1955), heel and toe trans, Columbia rearends, exhaust heat source for cabin, Continental kit, PTO winch, left hand lug nuts, fender skirts, wishbone suspension, opening cowl vents, V12 and straight 8 motors, dual antennae, record players, rear AC units (with side scoops), ...............70

Here is one, not on a car, ....gear driven implements on a road grader (not hydraulic)

I'm 50 years old, yet I knew, seen and used, worked on or been around all of them and more.

But I'm a gear head, and been around cars (vintage, classic, muscle, exotic, custom, collector cars all my life. I came home in a '64 Chevy Impala SS. I was one year old my first ride in a Street Rod.

Been going to car shows since my first birthday. I have forgotten more than most people ever know about cars....

I actually liked that better. I also like vent windows.

Do they still have bench seats? I can't remember the last time I saw a car with bench seats.

How many of you characters have ever driven a car with a 'Spark Advance' lever on the steering column? Now we're getting back in time....

Clutch

My truck still has manual windows. I gave a kid a ride home from football practice one night and he was looking at the door for several minutes, then finally asked me how to roll the window down.

Of course I don’t blame him for not knowing. But it was still pretty funny.

This. And clutch pedals (manual transmission).

Analog clocks that always stopped working.
