My 1986 El Camino has manual windows, and no automatic locks. I have to push the lock button down and pull it up with my fingers!

If I have a passenger other than my wife, I have to ask them to push the door lock button to lock the door. Most people never think of the door locks and are astonished mine are manual. Most cars doors lock and unlock automatically.
The driver's side mirror has a cable and is adjustable with that cable, but no electronics. The passenger side is just 100% manual and works just fine.
I agree with Paul, the dash on most new cars are just like a space ship. My wife's Macan is like a space ship compared to either of my cars for the 1980s, but all cars are. There is no way to get all the information to the driver without the complex displays. I have to get out and use a tire pressure gauge to check the tire pressure on my cars. The mandatory back up cameras require a display of some sort.
