Back in the late 1950s my dad had a fellow Air Force officer in the hospital. Dad went to see the guy, and was asked to drive his car home since he was going to be in the hospital for a while. So dad said sure. He was handed the keys to a mid 1950s VW bug but dad grew up driving stick shift so was not worried.
He got to the car, and fired it up, and tried every possible position of the stick to find reverse. He finally had to push it backwards into the lot to get to go forward. He figured the POS just did not have reverse. Dad called the buddy and he laughed and said he had forgotten to mention you have to push DOWN on the sifter to get into reverse. Just something other cars don't do.
