It's just harder to imagine a house-wife, mother-of-four driving a four-gear to get to the the Winn Dixie, church and baseball practice.

My mother's 383 4-speed wagon. Picture from 1964.

Very true about the manuals. In the early 2000’s I remember sending a jeep Cherokee to Poland, I use to fly over and spend a week or so trying to meet new contacts. One of the funniest things I remember on that trip was trying to explain to a guy that wanted to buy it( I dont speak Polish) how to drive an automatic vehicle, he literally had never seen one and didn’t understand how it worked. How things have changed.

When I was in the Dominican Republic a few years ago, almost everything was manual transmission. Even the transport busses and large Toyota vans. The driver said it was a "mechanical transmission", they didn't know the word "manual" for that application.
